l33tminion: There's that sense of impending doom again (Doom)
Yesterday, I wondered aloud whether we'd see the DOW below 9000 before the end of the week, allowing me to make another post with a gratuitous reference to a 4chan meme. From the front page of Google Finance at this very moment:

DOW: 8,700.33 (-557.77) (-6.02%)

Hope you weren't planning on using that economy anytime soon.

Update: At the end of the day:
DOW: 8,579.19 (-678.91) (-7.33%)

Another update: The rest of the world is taking a pummeling, too. Japan's stock market in particular, down nearly 10% in the first hour of trading. Ouch.
