...since the internet is a series of tubes. Its not like a truck. It can get clogged.
Maybe it hit so hard it bounced?
Support the EFF and Creative Commons. The war is coming, and they're supporting you...
We can only hope you have found the tube meant for you.

Don't you think it's a bit early for jokes?
Slashdot has really gone down the tubes these days.
Even the devil...

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to those of us still living who held the perished ones dear.
Please correct me if I got my facts wrong.

When reached in Hades for comment, Stevens had this to say:
"Ten airplanes flying across that, that state, and what happens to your own airplane? I just the other day got...an airplane was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday. I got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things flying commercially."
"They want to deliver vast amounts of people over the state. And again, the airspace is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big duck. It's a series of tubesocks. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your flight in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that airspace enormous amounts of airplanes, enormous amounts of airplanes."
Actually, we all deserve to die and we're going to get what we deserve.

Ted Stevens was aboard a small plane with eight others that crashed in remote southwest Alaska Monday night.
So, the eight others that traveled with Ted Stevens did crash. Since there are reports that he died, it seems likely that he crashed too, bringing the total up to nine.
Well. I'll agree that 'tubes' may be too simplified an explanation of the internet, even for children...
But you have to remember, this man was used to talking to Senators
I'm a dreamer, the world is my playpen. But hey, I'm a serious person, I can't dream all the time.
Unless of course you're just an uncaring bastard.
Phew. Up until now I wasn't sure how I fit into all this.
