Long, Long Ago in ancient Israel, it came to pass that a Trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot.
And Dot Com was a Homely woman, broad of shoulder, and long of leg.
Indeed, she was often called Amazon Dot Com.
And she said unto her husband, Abraham "Why dost thou travel so far from town to town with thy goods when thou canst trade without ever leaving thy tent?
And Abraham did look at her as though she were adorned with Blonde hair, but several saddle bags short of a Camel load, and simply said,
"How, dear?"
And Dot replied, "I will place Drums in all the towns, and Drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale, and they will reply telling you who hath the best price.
And the sale can be made on the Drums and delivery made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."
Abraham thought long, and decided he would let Dot have her way with the Drums.
And the Drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever having to move from his tent.
To prevent neighbouring countries from overhearing what the Drums were saying, Dot devised a system that only she and the Drummers knew.
It was known as ‘Must Send Drum Over
Sound’ (MSDOS), and she also developed a language to transmit ideas and pictures - ‘Hebrew To The People’ (HTTP).
And the young men did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to camel dung.
They were called ‘Nomadic
Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Sybarites,’ or NERDS.
And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of Drums that no one noticed that the real riches were going to that enterprising Drum dealer, Brother
William of Gates, who bought off every Drum maker in the land.
And indeed did insist on Drums to be made that would work only with Brother Gates' Drumheads, and Drumsticks.
And Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others."
And Abraham looked out over the Bay of
Ezekiel, or eBay as it came to be known. He said, "We need a name that reflects what we are."
And Dot replied, "We are the ‘Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators.’"
"YAHOO," cried Abraham.
And because it was Dot's idea, they
named it YAHOO Dot Com.
Abraham's cousin, Joshua, being the young ‘Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid’ (GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot's Drums to locate things around the countryside.
It soon became known as ‘God's Own Official Guide to Locating Everything’ (GOOGLE).
That is how it all began.
And that's the God’s truth.
Isn’t it Funny how History repeats its self???
