This is a link to a page at the Anchorage Daily News with their take on Steven's, including Haiku:

Saw this at Boing-Boing and it seems to be the source of the Senators edumacation:

http://images.agblog.com/michigan/Hands_On...networks?full=1

This is a demonstration of the packet-switch network using tubes and ball-bearings.
I was going to watch the 'show' but my monitor is not big enough. With images like that trying to get through the 'tubes' it's no wonder they get filled up so fast! harhar.gif But why would anyone make images for the internet so large, anyway. dntknw.gif

The senator's tubes are taking on the aura of "All your base are belong to us." His tubes are all over the place.

Flickr went down the other day, and the page apologizing for it had two huge circles next to each other, with a statement below them saying the tubes were plugged.

No mention, though, of calling in Roto-Rooter.
