"The Internet awaits the Chosen One, who will awaken on the Day of Reckoning, when that is unknown shall come to light..."

:-( Broken link?

I put a slash at the end and it fucked it up. This link works: Internet.

Other stuff:
World Wide Web (apparently, it's not actually the same as "internet")
Arpanet (someone mentioned this earlier)
Usenet
