You Know That You've Overdosed on The World Wide Web When
- Your opening line is: "So, what's your homepage address?"
- You are overcome with disbelief, anger, and finally depressed acceptance when you encounter a Webpage with no links.
- You felt driven to consult the "Cool Page of the Day" on your wedding day.
- Your bookmark takes 15 minutes to scroll from top to bottom.
- You are driving on a dark and rainy night when you hydroplane on a puddle, sending your car careening towards the flimsy guardrail that separates you the precipice of a rocky cliff and certain death, and you desperately look for the "Back" button.
- You visit "The Really Big Button That Doesn't Do Anything" again and again and again.
- Your dog has his own webpage.
- So does your hamster.
- When you read a magazine, you have an irresistible urge to click on the underlined passages.
Entire new continents can emerge from the ocean in the time it takes for a Web page to show up on your screen. Contrary to what you may have heard, the Internet does not operate at the speed of light; it operates at the speed of the Department of Motor Vehicles.
== Dave Barry
A temperature of 70 million degrees Celsius was generated at Princeton University in 1978. This was during a fusionism experiment and is the highest man-made temperature ever.
