    How It All Began
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the beginning ....


    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 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. 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 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. And indeed 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).

    And that's how it all began !

    Very funny. I love it!
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    An Airplane Story....

    An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

    The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, "What would you want to talk about?"
    “Oh, I don't know," said the atheist. "How about why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?" as he smiled smugly.

    "OK," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?"

    The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
    To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death, when you don't know crap?"
    And then she went back to reading her book.
