Funnily enough, I recently read an article about
the possibility of "Internet brown-outs" in a few years
as ancient overloaded infrastructure hits it's limits:
maybe that was one of them:-).
Wikipedia on Bob Metcalfe: ...Metcalfe is perhaps best known for his 1995 prediction that the internet would suffer a
catastrophic collapse the following year; he promised to eat his words if it did not. During his key note speech at the
Sixth WWW International Conference in 1997, he took a printed copy of his column that predicted the collapse, put it in
a blender with some liquid and then consumed the pulpy mass.
