The internet is as old and as true as the sky. And the farkette with boobies will prosper, but the farker who spams it must die.

The internet is ssooooooooo old...the IP address of the first server is in roman numerals!

 
Pegasus_CAG 2008-11-16 10:53:07 PM  
It's as old as Al Gore says it is and not one goddamn second older.

 
MightyPez 2008-11-16 10:53:39 PM  
Oooh, can we hear some Al Gore jokes about his hand in it? Unlike every other joke that is repeated thousands of times, this one never gets old!

 
Heroic Poser 2008-11-16 10:53:44 PM

Funny, I'd expect to see more strings from Japan.

I thought the first portions of the "internet" were connected back in the 60's? Hmmm

All I saw was a black page with a spider web on it.

Obviously our savior Hussein Obama will tell us how old the internet is!

Sadsaque,

Thanks for chiming in, simpleton.

You prove a point.

March 9, 1999:
Al Gore to Wolf Blitzer: "...I took the initiative in creating the internet." And the rest is history.

/Thanks Al. I LOVE the internet.

The internet's so old, I told it to act it's age, and it died.

michaeld5: /Thanks Al. I LOVE the internet.

See, rightards? You *CAN* use the correct quote and still make fun of Gore! No need to substitute the word "invent" to make it sound worse!

 
Corporate Mofo [TotalFark] 2008-11-16 11:04:01 PM  
Oh, good, it's legal. Recommence downloading pron.

 
N. S. Radieaux 2008-11-16 11:04:05 PM  
The Internet began at precisely midnight EST? Surrrre it did.

 
studebaker hoch 2008-11-16 11:04:10 PM  
The Internet:

50% pr0n.
25% LOLcat
20% email (98% of which is ads for R0ll3x and V1@gra)
5% actual informative, usable content, news, engineering data, banking etc..

 
Sadsaque 2008-11-16 11:04:28 PM

Yes, only evil conseratives make fun of the "invent" thing, and its only purpose is to make the left seem utterly feeble, as they...
Wait, WTF is your problem? Jesus, chill out

Bzzzzt wrong, thank you for playing. The ARPANET (which evolved into today's Internet) went live in 1969.

I used one of the original six web servers. You didn't.

DIAF

It was just a joke, dude. Take your own advice.

 
Cameron_Talley 2008-11-16 11:06:56 PM  
Corporate Mofo: 40?

No, 39.

2008-1969 is 39 years.

Duh.

turingtest: Bzzzzt wrong, thank you for playing. The ARPANET (which evolved into today's Internet) went live in 1969.

So.. if it "evolved" into the Internet, doesn't that make it, you know, not the Internet? I mean, since I'm pretty sure none of our other primate ancestors were human.

The internet's so Jewish, it thought going abroad meant going to the Catskills.

 
Stratigus64 2008-11-16 11:08:30 PM  
This reminds me of the "Has Obama taken away your gun yet?" article and invokes a similar response:

WHO GREENLIGHTS THIS CRAP?!?!?!
//It certainly isn't me, I ain't payin' no monthly fee!
