>
> And  Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel , or eBay as it came to be

>
> 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

> locate things around the countryside.

> It soon became known as God's  Own Official Guide to Locating

> That is how it all  began.
