CAIRO - Egypt's vice president says Hosni Mubarak has resigned as president and handed control to the military.
Car horns were heard around Cairo in celebration after Vice President Omar Suleiman made the announcement on national TV on Friday.
"In these difficult circumstances that the country is passing through, President Hosni Mubarak has decided to leave the position of the presidency," Suleiman said. He has commissioned the armed forces council to direct the issues of the state."

Time to see if this ends up turning into the galactic empire, or the new republic(what the rebel alliance turned into after the empire's defeat).

That picture is the best fucking thing I've seen all day.
What the hell is going on with that? Protesting by tying bread to your head? What does it achieve?
I saw a picture in the paper of half the crowd waving a shoe in the air. That one stumped me for a bit , until I read further into the article that this shoe waving business is apparantly an insult/sign of disprespect in arab countries?
