Dot com bible history:
And, Lo, 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 comely woman, broad of shoulder
and long of leg. Indeed, her friends
called her Amazon Dot Com.
And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why doth thou travel from
town to town with thy goods, when
thou can trade without ever leaving
thy tent?"
And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags
short of a camel load, but 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 which hath the best price. Verily, the sale can be
made on the drums, and delivery by
Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."
Abraham thought long, and decided he
would let Dot have her way with the
drums, And Dot said, "There will be
a lot of banging in the land."
And Abraham replied, "It is my most
fervent wish that this be so." So
the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all
his goods at the top price, without
ever moving from his tent.
Alas, his success did arouse envy.
A young clerk named Maccabia hid
himself inside Abraham's drum, and
was accused of insider trading.
And the young did take to Dot Com's
trading, as do greedy horsefies to
camel dung. They came to be known as
Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Siderites (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 the drum-maker, a gaunt chap known as William of Gates, who bought up every drum company in the land. Indeed, he did
insist that his drums would not work
unless you bought his drumsticks.
And Dot did say, "Oh,Abraham, what
we have started, has been taken over
by others!"
Abraham gazed out over the Bay of
Ezekiel (later known as eBay), and he said, "We need a name for our
service that reflects the kind of
people we are." He mused aloud,
"Let's see....we're young....ambitious....Hebrew....
owner....operators...
"Ive got it!" said Dot. And taking
Abraham's staff, she traced the word
YAHOO in the sand.
And so it was written.
