    Yes it is. Hypertext development dates from the late '60s. Just because the technology has only been available via a universally accessible WWW interface since the mid-90s doesn't mean that the building blocks and functional basis hasn't been around longer. Web technology is based on SGML of which HTML is a subset.

    The Internet has been around since 1967. Web technology is overlaid on a much older concept and framework.

    404 is merely an error message that is part of the TCP protocol which has been in use (and much revised) since 1969. Much like the original post is part of the apochrypha of society that make up urban legends and universal jokes.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Most email jokes come around again.
    Still, some of these still make me laugh.
    FINE. This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

    New words from old...

    I've had a search but can't find this anywhere. No doubt someone will let me know if in fact it is a repost!

    The Washington Post published a contest for readers in which they were asked to supply alternate meanings for various words. The following were some of the winning entries:
    Coffee (n.) a person who is coughed upon.
    Flabbergasted (adj.) appalled over how much weight you have gained.
    Abdicate (v.) to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.
    Esplanade (v.) to attempt an explanation while drunk.
    Willy-nilly (adj.) impotent
    Negligent (adj.) describes a condition in which you absentmindedly answer the door in your nightie.
    Lymph (v.) to walk with a lisp.
    Gargoyle (n.) an olive-flavoured mouthwash.
    Flatulence (n.) the emergency vehicle that picks you up after you are run over by a steamroller.
    Balderdash (n.) a rapidly receding hairline.
    Testicle (n.) a humorous question on an exam.
    Rectitude (n.) the formal, dignified demeanour assumed by a proctologist immediately before he examines you.
    Oyster (n.) a person who sprinkles his conversation with Yiddish expressions.
    Circumvent (n.) the opening in the front of boxer shorts.
    Frisbeetarianism (n.) The belief that, when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck there.
    Pokemon (n) A Jamaican proctologist.
    Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realise it was your money to start with.
    Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
    Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.
    Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
    Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
    Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
    Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
    Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (this one got extra credit)
    Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.
    Glibido: All talk and no action.
    Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when you have been smoking marijuana.
    And, the pick of the year:
    Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole - my favourite!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    It probably goes well with what I heard a nursing friend tell this guy once - "you need an optorectomy". He looked at her blankly and said "a what?" She repeated "an optorectomy - it's when they sever the connection running between your optic nerve and your arsehole - it improves your shitty outlook on life" - perfect!

    I tried doing a Google search using the same line as that usually finds all the KB posts with the wording you are searching for in it - it's easier to find KB amongst the results than find the relevant post using the search function here as that comes up with oodles! Sorry for the repost - at least I added a new joke... and my list has two years' results in it - they start after circumvent.

    I went and did the search and found our esteemed Mr Hitcher had posted the same thing twice in two threads... so I'm in good company!
