Not only didnt Al Gore create the World wide web but a Brittish dude did?

Hey all!!!

 I was just watching the opening ceremony to the Olympic games. And I learned something even me the computer geek did not realize. Not only didn't Al Gore create the internet.( Ha Ha). But the consortium that really tied all of our computers together with things like HTTP and WWW was created by a British guy named Tim Berners Lee.  Who would thunk???

Now granted he was also an MIT professor and was a member of  United States National Academy of Sciences but hey at lease Al gore is so busted!!!

This is my levity for the day guys. Hope you enjoyed it. I will try daily to not be such a stuffed shirt.
