Despite the claims of many that Mercury retrograde brings no more problems than any other time, many of us have noticed quite a few news items to the contrary:

Unexplained computer failure created problems with the space shuttle mission.

Computers at United Airlines mysteriously failed, grounding all of their flights.

Technology problems shut down the American Stock Exchange three times in two weeks.

The 1.5 mile fence being built across the US/Mexican border was actually accidentally built on Mexican soil, necessitating over $3 million to rebuild it.

In South Africa an airport baggage glitch delayed 150 flights and caused havoc at local airports.

Unexplained omputer problems cut off power to 80-100,000 Phoenix area residents.

Probably just a coincidence…
