"Happy 40th birthday, the internet.
  The first message was sent across Arpanet exactly 40 years ago, on 29 October 1969.
  We look at a few of the milestones in its development."

It wasn't Gore. A chimp named Roscoe invented the Internet. I know this, because Chongo told me so. Roscoe's work was suppressed, of course, and he got no credit for it at all. Typical specist stuff.

As far I am concerned, the internet did not exist until I got my first PC in 2002.

Before that it was just this weird, perverted thingie occasionally reported on by NPR and my good friend Dani.

All hail my egocentricity!
