Spain and Portugal are racing the setting sun as they respond to a massive, unexplained power outage that knocked out traffic lights, caused chaos on roads and in airports, and threatened to plunge tens of millions of people into darkness on Monday. Portugal's grid operator Redes Energticas Nacionais (REN) said electrical supply was lost across the entire Iberian Peninsula, and in parts of France, shortly after midday. It could be several hours until power is fully restored, Spain's grid operator said, meaning families and businesses around the country could be without energy come nightfall. The outage took out lighting and power sockets, and caused subway systems to suddenly fail. Some power began to trickle back across Spain hours later, but efforts to fully revive the grid and to identify the cause have not yet been successful. read more

Easter is that magical time of year when chocolate bunnies mysteriously lose their ears, and kids suddenly develop the speed of Olympic sprinters during egg hunts. Families gather to celebrate with colorful eggs, tasty treats, and, of course, the time-honored tradition of sharing Easter Dad Jokes that are so cheesy, they could outshine a plate of nachos.
