How Will WorldCom/UUNet Impact The Internet?

somewinner writes "CNN.com has an article discussing WordCom's impending failure and its possible impact on the internet. Given that WorldCom (via UUNet) handles 50% of US internet traffic, and a large percentage of traffic worldwide, some concern is certainly justifiable. However, the author of the article seems to think that nothing serious is going to happen."

Here's a tip for those of you in the South who are too poor to get white pussy and too finicky to fuck black pussy:

get a watermelon, cut a slit in the end the shape and size of a human vagina. Check the internet if you don't know what's that. Let it stand in the sun for a couple of hours, until it feels warm to the touch. Find a secluded barn somewhere where you won't be importunated. Finally, push your hard dick into the watermelon. Man, that's the best thing this side of true pussy! Better than fucking a pig's asshole! (I mean the pig thing you find in sties, not your local sheriff's deputy)

Oh, when I saw that "dark fibre" thing, I thought you meant the big, hard, thick root that emanates from the undebelly of every African-blooded man...

Besides, UUNet's service is so terrible that it would be a few days before anyone noticed it was down.

Ditto when California started having rolling blackouts. Big raspberries from the Fed, because the Shrub knows California wouldn't vote for him if he was rolling out the red carpet in front of Jesus Christ for the Second Coming.

Since when the hell does California want anything to do with Jesus Christ?

....which reminds me of a joke....

How many Californians does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None. Californians don't screw in light bulbs - they screw in hot tubs.
