I think you guys are full of shit.
This true story below was definitely written by someone with way too much time on his/her hands..
*How the Internet started*...(according to the Bible)
I know this has to be true because I read it
online... makes perfect sense to me.
In ancient Israel , it came to pass that a trader by
the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a healthy young wife by
the name of Dorothy.
And Dot Com was a comely woman, Large of breast,
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 can 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. 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 known as Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS), and
she also developed a language to transmit ideas and pictures - Hebrew
To The People (HTTP).
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. Indeed
he 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).
That is how it all began.
And that's the truth.
And I’m sticking with it!
