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

How Father Abraham started the Internet

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.

"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.
