How the Internet started

Well, you might have thought that you knew how the Internet started,
but here's the TRUE story ....

In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham
Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot.

And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg.
Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com.

And she said unto Abraham, her husband: "Why dost thou travel so far
from town to town with thy goods when thou canst trade without ever
leaving thy tent?"

And Abraham did look at her - as though she were several saddle bags
short of a camel load, but simply said: "How, dear?"

And Dot replied: "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in
between to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will
reply telling you who hath the best price.

And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah's Pony
Stable (UPS)."

Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the
drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham
sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever having to move
from his tent.

To prevent neighboring countries from overhearing what the drums were
saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the drummers knew. It was
called Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), and she also developed a
language to transmit ideas and pictures - Hebrew To The People (HTTP)

But this success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did secret
himself inside Abraham's drum and began to siphon off some of Abraham's
business. But he was soon discovered, arrested and prosecuted - for
insider trading.

And the young men did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy
horsefly take to camel dung.

They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites, or NERDS.

And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the
deafening sound of drums that no one noticed that the real riches were
going to that enterprising drum dealer, Brother William of Gates, who
bought off every drum maker in the land.

And indeed did insist on drums to be made that would work only with
Brother Gates' drumheads and drumsticks.

And Dot did say: "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over
by others."

And Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel , or eBay as it came to
be known. He said: "We need a name that reflects what we are."

And Dot replied: "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators." "YAHOO,"
said Abraham. And because it was Dot's idea, they named it YAHOO Dot Com.

Abraham's cousin, Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated
Kid (GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot's drums to locate things
around the countryside. It soon became known as God's Own Official Guide
to Locating Everything (GOOGLE).

And that is how it all began.

Three nuns walk into a bar. You'd think one of them would have seen it.

Hmmm...I assume that we just have different "sense" of humor. They are funny, because they are idiots...or something like that. When I'm trying to imagine a guy who proposes right after he f**d his girlfriend's sister and made ger pregnant - it makes me laugh, really. But if it's not funny for you - it's not my problem, don't you think so?

kennyc · 02-19-2011, 02:19 PM

Clearly different perspective I think.

I just wonder though if we took a poll what the percentage of results would be. Hmmm...

Sometimes laughing at humans stupidity is very useful. At least you can see how you should NOT act sometimes

But anyway, it's an open forum, and I'm not breaking any rules

kennyc · 02-19-2011, 03:56 PM

Nope, never implied that at all...

LCF · 02-19-2011, 05:58 PM

I didn't laugh about the girl. But it's kind of funny what a complete idiot the man was.
