The Dark Side to the Internet My Usenet server only holds posts for a week, so I almost missed this in the latest digest. (I believe it was Ron who introduced me to these? or Dave? or Ron?) Date: Mon, 07 Jul 03 12:34:37 -0500 From: Internet Oracle Subject: Internet Oracularity #1326-01 Selected-By: "Alyce Wilson" The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was: > Oracle most wise, > > Is it true people use the Internet for other things besides porn? And in response, thus spake the Oracle: } Absolutely! You can also spread viruses with the internet. Steal books, } music and videos. And lets not forget the endless supply of "free" } games out there waiting to be downloaded. } } There is a dark side to the internet. Some people put _information_ } on their web sites. No nude chicks or pirated music. Actual useful } information about cars, the weather, what's on TV tonight, etc. } I can't tell you how much those freaks creep me out. Stay away from } them or next thing you know you might find yourself doing unspeakable } things like studying and research. Imagine what you mom will think when } she finds out you know WAY too much about 18th century Romanian art. } } You owe the Oracle some links to sites about naval warfare in the } late 1500's. Not for me mind you, its... uh... for a friend. ------------------------------ Newsgroups: rec.humor.oracle Subject: Internet Oracularities Digest #1326 Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2003 18:03:59 +0000 (UTC) Message-ID: Reply-To: oracle-vote@cs.indiana.edu NNTP-Posting-Host: moose.cs.indiana.edu NNTP-Posting-Date: Mon, 7 Jul 2003 18:03:59 +0000 (UTC) Originator: daemon@cs.indiana.edu () Speaking of which: 10:01:24 PM    comment []
