Do you remember where you were when…
...you learned that Hosni Mubarak resigned as president of Egypt.

At 10:35 Central during a break in a University for Seniors French class, I took out my iPod and connected to the UMD network. Oh, wow! I interrupted everybody else's conversation to let them know.
The question is did Mubarak "waive the office of the president" or was he pushed out by other ministers or the army. Do we even know if he is alive?
