    The Internet in just two words:

    • Cats & porn

    The Internet in just one word:

    • Pussy

    (not originally from me, but I like it)

      As a dog person, I always begrudingly wished the dogs would have participated in some sort of memewar. The cats got all the “aww cute” memes, while dogs got all the “herpyderp” memes.

      But I guess that’s why I like dogs more than dictatory, selfimposed, greater-than-thou cats.

    As I understand it, the original impetus was to develop a communication system that was resilient in the case of a nuclear attack.

    The Internet is a communication tool used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another.

    Or, at least it was. Now it’s mostly a mall and organ harvesting operation.
