I used to work on some weather dish equipment for NOAA. We once had a short outage due to extreme solar activity. I got to close a discrepency report with sun spots as the root cause. :D

Ah yes, the Solar System Intervention Act of 1875. Bush just recently pulled the US out of this ancient and venerable multi-nation pact, wherein the powers that be demanded that the sun refrain from peeking at the Earth at all hours of the day and generally mind its own business unless invited in. Numerous sanctions have been leveled at Sol since then, with several nations claiming the sun has never lived up to its part of the bargain. The lack of a viable representative from the sun to sign the treaty notwithstanding, only three years ago the UN re-ratified the treaty and called for world-wide use of sunblock in an effort to "royally tick off" the "yellow bastard," as Kofi Annan put it in a speech before the UN Committee on Space and European Cheeses.
