I think you meant “lo and behold”, but lord sounds good too in this context

    It's a great story! btw, "Lo and Behold (Reveries of the Connected World)" is the name of a documentary by Werner Herzog about the history of the Internet. "LO" was the first text sent on UCLA's Internet test. They probably intended to enter "LOGIN" but the network crashed. :) https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lo_and_behold_reveries_of_the_connected_world https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lo_and_behold_reveries_of_t...

      Of course the phrase itself existed long before the documentary.

        For example, the phrase goes back at least as far as Shakespeare.
