The guys at 463 win the best April Fool's joke for this year.
April 1, Washington, DC - After years of controversy and uncertainty, DNA testing has finally proven the real father of the Internet. It's a gas station attendant in Norman, Oklahoma.
Given the obvious promiscuity of the Internet's mother, the real father has long been in doubt. Robert Kahn, Tim Berners-Lee and Vint Cerf were all known to have dated the woman, Mildred Pollymokker, in the mid 1960s and 1970s. Others, including JCR Licklider, Paul Baran and Robert Taylor were all known to have "spent time" with Ms. Pollymokker around that time.
"Let's face it, the mother of the Internet got around," said Cerf. "I'd be coming over to visit and I'd see Tim sneaking out the backdoor. I'd get so jealous. I would yell, 'Wrong. Wrong. Wrong."
Also, Andrew Noyes at CongressDaily left me rolling on the floor uncontrollably after reading the text of this supposed legislation from Public Knowledge's Gigi Sohn.
Sohn was quoted as saying, "This bill should be read very carefully. Anyone would have to be a fool to vote for this bill."
Happy April 1st, everyone.
