Seems just a bit, oh, I don't know, derivative--
Hey, wait a minute--weren't the Animaniacs a Warner Brothers product?
Like the hungry coyote? The frustrated skunk? The insufferable wabbit?
So how come all those characters look like The Freakin' Mouse? Huh?
Just askin'.

A couple of thoughts:
Thought I: Long, long ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and the
Internet was young, if you were looking for something, and you couldn't
find it anywhere else, you could always find it in Finland (finet,
wasn't it?). I figured it probably had something to do with the lack of
anything else to do that didn't involve reindeer.
Thought II: Warp's going to show up and correct me, isn't he? Well, I
probably have it coming.

Yeah, I like this one first because it's a rocking tune, and second
because it contains random science facts.
As an aside, it's slightly disturbing some of the questions that come up
on Stack Exchange regarding the Sun. One person asked why there's no
smoke around the Sun, and a few weeks later another asked how the Sun
can burn if there's no oxygen in space. And the various experts had to
explain that *sigh* the Sun isn't actually *on fire*. It's a *nuclear*
reaction, not a chemical one.

From what I remember. The internet sprang fully formed from the
Bulletin Boards. (A convenient memory, I have. :-) )

Probably not. He has been missing in action for a while. His last post
said that the Finnish backbone was having problems resolving PovRay's
address. Or something like that.
He is missed. </Squeak*

Now you mention it. It does look a bit Disneyesque.
Did you stay to the end?
There is no "What's up? Doc." at 2:25

It is okay. I've battened the hatches on it and it is just a locked away
memory, now.

There aught to be a test before you are allowed to take a computer onto
the internet, unsupervised.

I thought that that had been sorted. Warp posted on 22/05/2016 from the
inet.fi domain with the subject line "I'm still alive".

Now I think about it, I can't quite work out whether that was a threat
or just informational.
Now I'm in trouble too, aren't I?
