    Thumbs up Happy 40th Birthday, Internet

    So I guess today was the day that the first message, "lo", was sent on ARPANET. That makes 10/29 the official birthday of the interweb tubes.

    In honor of this day: It's not a truck, it's a series of tubes!

    Who knew that we would be responding to Nigerian get-rich-quick schemes and playing Team Fortress back in 1969?

    Dunno. Who thought there'd be hippies and Vietnam wars in 1929?

    Happy birthday.

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?
    You can sift through the penny jar

    From saving the world and creating a digital utopia, to mortgage spam and furries... Internet, thou hast come so far, yet stooped so low.
