Sorry.

See that wasn't so hard, was it Ken?

I had a thought -- what if in the future, AI has outlived human beings and they try to make sense of the LazyWeb?

Will they understand sarcasm? Or will they think that everything written is meant in earnest?

Will they think The Odyssey was a spin-off from The Simpsons -- written by the central character, Homer?

Will they think I, Robot was written by a blogger? I remember, early in London I attended a speech by Malcolm McClaren about "The Authentic and the Karaoke."

I don't remember what is was about anymore (I soon went to the hospital, not being able to discern 'authentic' peanuts in the appetizers) -- but the title alone speaks volumes.

The Truth is -- you have to know the person, to truly appreciate wtf they are on about.
