See, it just goes to show you how troublesome those Canadians are. I've posted RVB's Internet video about a dozen times on this board and figured that just this once, I could mention the internet in a serious topic without linking that video. Then who charges in with a link to my favorite overplayed internet joke?

Al Gore enabled the modern internet as we know it
by authoring the legislature in the 80s that opened up the
DARPA net for commericial use.

(not defending that fat bastard, just clarifying)

National High-Performance Computer Act, 1988

Oh, well in that case, I'll let it slide. I have a soft spot for polite Northerners

But I still hate Canadians

I thought that was just you're way of being polite?

And what does the fact that I'm Canadian have to do with anything?

That's bullshit, here's the real reason the internet was created:
