A revelation with an Incredibly Big Message (IBM):

Well, you might have thought that you knew how the

Internet started,

but here’s the TRUE story ….

In ancient Israel , it came to pass that a trader by

the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself

a young wife by the name of Dot. And Dot Com

was a comely woman, 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.

And 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 neighbouring countries from overhearing

what the drums were saying, Dot devised a system

that only she and the drummers knew.

It was called Must Send Drum Over Sound (MSDOS),

and she also developed a language to transmit ideas

and pictures – Hebrew To The People (HTTP)

But this success did arouse envy. A man named

Maccabia did secrete himself inside Abraham’s drum

and began to siphon off some of Abraham’s business.

But he was soon discovered, arrested and prosecuted -

for insider trading. 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.

And indeed 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)

And the world was all a Twitter!!!!
