Joke and myths



Great. The joke as well as the advice on diet. I agree on both articles. Yes, ice cream can kill.

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 (Dot for short). 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
               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. 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.
 So help me God that's the truth.
