Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 16, 2024

No employer would belive that. We all know that Al Gore “took the initiative to create the internet,” as he told Wolf Blitzer.

I’d think the Pope would hate the inventor of Porn Central, a.k.a. the Internet.

We all know that Al Gore invented the internet

Way off. The Pope can’t knight anybody, he granted Rat the patent,

The whole premise of the papacy is based on a lie.

Rat seems to have forgotten that he ran for President and apparently won a few years ago.

You’re too late Rat, I believe Al. Gore took credit for that!

I’ve told you a million times to stop exaggerating!

Typical republican nonsense. He NEVER stated that he invented the internet or any words close to that made up quote by republicans. Sad.

I do! :D

That;s SIR Rat to you.

Actually, the Pope cannot possibly lie. I read it on the internet.

Sir Timothy Berners-Lee OM KBE was knighted by HM Queen Elizabeth II for, among other things, inventing the World Wide Web. He used a NeXT computer owned by his then employer, the Swiss high-energy research institute CERN, as the very first web server; he wanted to publish his papers, and plain text wasn’t cutting it, so he invented his own markup language and protocols. NeXT was the company Steve Jobs set up when he was exiled from Apple by those wanting to bring modern business management to Apple; when Steve returned to Apple in wrath and glory, the Nexties conquered Apple and modern business management ran away. TBL used the NeXT machine because it could provide the required power in a convenient, easy-to-use, package. The WWW exists as we know it today because an English physicist wanted to publish his scientific papers easily, and Steve Jobs was annoyed with Apple management.

Apparently a Google search gave me the answer that “Sir” Timothy John Berners-Lee has been knighted by the Late Queen Elizabeth II back in 2004

We ain’t calling you a truther.

I didn’t know Rat’s last name was Santos

That’s not exaggeration, that’s just lying.
