How the internet started... 

In ancient Palestine (a.k.a. His-Bulla land), 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

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. 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).

That is how it all began. And that's the truth. Halleluiah and glory be to

all on the internet.
