effectively on The Internet, which was already very much in existence (and HTTP was totally arf 'inched from SGML).

The Internet was conceived of and implemented by a collective of brilliant and mostly american academics and funded, FUNDED I said, by the American military which why is why it could only have happened in America, just like Rock 'n Roll, cartoons and moon missions.

The only other race on the planet with the dynamism and ingenuity to build The Interflaps would have been the British but our military would only have funded it on the precept of total ownership and it would still, to this day, be nothing more than a largely ineffective, D-noticed sack of tits.
