And all this time I believed that Al Gore invented the internet.
Yet not one word or mention of it in the article or photos.
Makes me wonder about all this global warning stuff.
Any one remember the global cooling ramblings from the 70's?
Happy Birthday Internet.

Grumpy I heard too much of the gas shortage, baby formula scare, and horse meat in our ground meat to remember the cool down warning

Hope your having a good day Dave.
