And yea, one enterprising soul (Theodoric of York, Medieval Barber) sought to peddle a potion that would cause a man who drinketh daily of it to have his member to groweth a full 4 inches a fortnight! “Verily and forsooth!”, quoth Theodoric. “Thy relations with willing wenches shall last long into the eve’n!” It is even spoken that if a man doth receiveth no satisfaction from said potion, he shall duly have full recompense.

Sometimes, I suspect that, when Vinton Cerf (if any one person can claim to have “invented the internet”, it’s him) and Tim Berners-Lee (creator of the first web browser) wake up in the morning, they go to their computers, look at what their work has wrought, and think, “I should have studied dentistry.”
Fun fact: Old English used a few different characters to represent the “th” sound, and the one they used to represent the “hard” sound in a word like “the” resembled our modern day “y” character.
Nowadays there is only one Internet. People who say “Internets” are … well, let’s just say ill-informed. There are other networks but once they connect to the Internet, they are part of that one huge network.
