I remember seeing 4+ and 5+ hour blocks in the past.  It happens.

What if everyone is mining secretly in a very selfish way?!  Rumor at Cornell has it that this is going to increase yield!

The longest time ever in between blocks was 463,160 seconds, the time between block 0 and block 1.
That's 5.36 days.

Yes, few hours ago when I tried to look up a Bitcoin transaction, blockchain.info lagged while blockexplorer.com was fine. Blockchain now recovered.
