OK did I do it right this time?  The new rules should have been posted at the beginning of the thread so that new people know all of the rules. :eyecrazy:

Excellent suggestion on posting the rules.  I have put them at the FRONT of the thread.

Any Web site is just 19 clicks away from any other Web site. And typing in the URL does not count! Researchers in the US have found that the Net behaves like a 'small world network', the same rules that govern the 'How many steps to Kevin Bacon' game.

Albert-Laszlo Barabasi, from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, created a robot program to investigate the links between the sites. The program checks outgoing links and follows them, and found that between any two randomly chosen points, the shortest route is never more than 19 links.

The findings are especially useful to designers of search engines. As the Web grows, the reliability of these engines shrinks. And while applying this research is still probably beyond our AI technology, it could provide a useful starting point for investigations.

"The problem is the amount of information available if you don't have the technology to understand it all," commented Oren Etzioni, researcher at Go2Net in the New Scientist. He is working on alternate methods, such as adaptive web site that will redesign themselves to make popular or relevant documents accessible to search engines.

The Meaning Of Life

On the first day God created the cow.
God said, "You must go to the field with the farmer all day long
and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support
the farmer I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's a kind of a tough life you want me to live
for sixty years. Let me do it for twenty years and I'll give back
the other forty."
And God agreed.

On the second day, God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by
the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past.
I will give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and
I'll give back the other ten."
So God agreed (sigh).

On the third day God created the monkey.
God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them laugh.
I'll give you a twenty year life span."
Monkey said, "How boring, monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think
so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?"
Once again, God agreed.

On the fourth day God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, have sex,
enjoy. Do nothing, just enjoy, enjoy. I'll give you twenty years."
Man said, "What? Only twenty years? No way man. Tell you what, I'll
take my twenty, and the forty cow gave back, the ten dog gave back and
the ten monkey gave back. That makes eighty, okay?"
Okay," said God. "You've got a deal."

So that is why for the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, have sex,
enjoy, and do nothing; for the next forty years we slave in the sun to
support our family; for the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain
our grandchildren; and for the last ten years we sit in front of the house
and bark at everybody!
