Anyone catch the USA channel marathon of a show called The 4400? In a nutshell, 4400 people who have mysteriously vanished over a number of decades suddenly reappear all at once, with super powers and stuff. It's pretty good.
Then again, I'm a sucker for a marathon. String twelve episodes of golden girls together, and there's a 50/50 shot I'm in for the afternoon.

Ah, so that explains your own mysterious vanishing - You've been on the couch watching basic cable.
Computer cord doesn't reach to the couch.
