Denial of Service?

I am currently getting an error message stating, "sorry, you're network may be sending out an automated request" whenever I try to access any blogger pages. I heard that twitter and facebook were hit with denial of service attacks yesterday, perhaps it's bloggers turn today. Luckily I found a back door to get on and post. And so I give you this useless trivia:

The katzenklavier, or cat piano, was a 'musical instrument' designed by 17th century German polymath Athanasius Kircher. It consisted of a row of cats in cages, arranged by voice tone, which were 'played' using a keyboard that jabbed nails into their tails – making them yelp.
