Totally Useless Facts About The Internet

  • The internet started with the sharing of porn - not the sharing of IBM computers as once believed - in the early 1960s at institutions such as Dartmouth University and Fitchburg State College.
  • Ethernet is a protocol or system for a set of computer networking technologies for local area networks (LANs), the origins of which came from Bob Metcalfe's Harvard's dissertation on "Inhaling Ether Fumes while Doing Coke in the Computer Labs."
  • Every minute, 24 hours of video is uploaded to YouTube. Not a single second of it is worth more than the shit I took after dinner.
  • In Australia, 53 out of 100 people believe they are surfing the internet but in fact they are actually surfing the gnarly Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast.
  • Tim Berners-Lee coined the phrase "World Wide Web" in 1990. He also coined the phrases: "fabulous fuckstink winkies", "geeky lady spillers" and "side-fumbling reduction cunts."
  • The internet is growing faster than you think. Consider that It took 38 years for radio to reach 50 million users, 13 years for TV, 5 years for the Internet and 3 fucking minutes for Ashton Kutcher to tweet out a pic of Demi Moore in her underwear.
  • Al Gore didn't have a fucking thing to do with the invention of the hyper global mega net. NOT A FUCKING THING. GOD DAMN I AM SO SICK OF YOUR SHIT, WOMAN!
  • 35.6% of internet users are Asian. 35.6% of methamphetamine users are also Asian.
  • HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol and Hysterical Tiny Titty Pictures.
  • There are nearly 2 billion Internet users worldwide. Of those 2 billion only about 6 people at any given time are contributing something useful. The rest of them are just watching videos of dramatic prairie dogs and Googling "how old is Victoria Justice?"
