[Nfb-krafters-korner] OT How it all began

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.
