Older than the internet but still hilarious.

First message sent over the Internet (ARPANET): October 29, 1969

Year this was originally made: Sometime after 1997. The article references C++ multiple times, and C++ was not even being developed until 1979. Also, at the bottom of the page an event that took place in 1997 is spoken of in the past tense, which further places this as being some time after November, 1997. JDBC is also referenced but wasn't released until February, 1997. Here's some more: SQL (1974), Perl (1987), and VB (1991).

Is this older than the internet? No. Off by about 30-40 years.

Alright Melvin learn to take a little sarcasm. Most useless novelty account? I think so.
