The US may have cut interest rates but we're all on stand by for a big fall on Wall Street.

1450 UPDATE: "US stocks plunged at the open Tuesday amid a global financial market panic that prompted an
unprecedented 75 basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The benchmark Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged below 12,000 points with a tumble of 419.94 points (3.47 percent) to 11,67936 and the Nasdaq slumped 100.06 points (4.28 percent) to 2,239.96. The broad-market Standard & Poor's 500 index shed 49.77 points
(3.76 points (3.76 percent) to 1,275.42."

If you're struggling to cope, here is something else to make your sides burst with laughter.
