I thought it was invented so that websense could restrict access.

Oh Serge, you poor, poor bastard. You've got to see this video when you get home or wherever you can get to youtube.

What I think will amaze many people is, given my recommendation and Bryan's endorsement, it has nothing whatsoever to do with politics!

Kurt -- do those 3 minutes include the time you took to write about losing three minutes? Seems like a waste of your time to write about wasting your time...

Or maybe your time isn't worth that much to you...

The treadmill dance video is quite clever. A little ghey, but clever nonetheless.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Porn existed, and was a thriving business, thank you very much, well before the Internet. The Internet has caused an explosion in the porn biz, but that's not why it was invented.

It was invented solely so that I could see the Treadmill Dance.

Now, I will hold this lightbulb and let the world's revolving around me screw it in.

Hellooo! Putting the Al Gore legend aside; the 'net was invented by a bunch of introverted, non-social college computer geeks. Do I need to draw you a picture? Porn has driven most of the computing advances of the past 10 years: broadband, video technology, spill-resistant keyboards...

LMAO -- Unca Thom, Unca Thom!! draw me a picture, draw me a picture!!!

And I stipulate that the advances have been largely porn driven. Porn is probably behind the germ-killing lotion development as well....
