Like I said when I first saw this, don't tell Al Gore.  He'll be 
disappointed.

>>How the internet started according to the  Bible
>>
>>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.
>>
>>And 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 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. 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.
