- pbhj 17y agoI checked out "strong interaction". Who couldn't love a song with a line like "you quark me bottom (shoot shoot on isospin)" ...?
- martythemaniak 17y agoSo the first picture on the web had several good-looking women. Whodathunkit.
- jacquesm 17y agoI'll bet you that statistically speaking the ratio of pictures that contain good looking women has dropped from its initial 100% but that it will never go below 50%.

- snprbob86 17y agoI find the discussion absolutely fascinating. You can tell that most of these people didn't really predict today's internet. Just look at the comments about tightly coupling images to links and the suggestion of "icon" to imply that images should be small.

- torpor 17y agoI remember being able to load images in a browser for the first time. My first thought was "uh oh" .. then my next thought was "wonder if I can use this to go to nntp://alt.binaries.pictures..." My how far we've come.
