true origin of the internet

Got this in my email and thought I'd post it for others to laugh at too.

The True Origin of the Internet??

In ancient Israel, 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 chest and long of
leg. Indeed, she had been called "Amazon Dot Com."

And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why doth thou travel
far from town to town with thy goods when thou can 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 which 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 moving from his tent.

But this success did arouse envy. A man named Maccabia did
secrete himself inside Abraham's drum and was accused of
insider trading. And other young men hearing of the success did
take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to
camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich
Dominican Siderites, or NERDS for short.

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 the drum maker, one Brother William of
Gates, who bought up every drum company in the land. And
indeed did insist on making drums 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 as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or as it came
to be known "eBay" he said, "We need a name that reflects what
we are."

And Dot replied, "We shall be known as Young Ambitious Hebrew
Owner Operators."

"YAHOO," said Abraham.

And that is how it all began. It wasn't Al Gore after all.

Where does the horde of angry penguins come in?

[D0pp139an93r]

They ate Al Gore.

[djscribble]

and the penguins were eaten by little devils

[edit] however this should probably be in tech humor [/edit]

[Faqt]

all the drumming woke them?

[hypronix]

Shold be in Tech Humour, yes.

Penguins are going to show up in the sequel. Coming in hordes and using the drums as herring traps while they develop a Linear Inter-Networked Utility Xylophone for better communication... higher-pitched sounds are better heard than drum beats.
