2. Where can a Roman emperor be found with 90km diameter.

3. Who was the philosopher who tried to cure his sight with cow manure and baking in the sun.

1. That must have been during the battle of Chester. Didn't know what year but found it on the interweb.

And i thought google would not find that one.

You're likely safe from Google on the cow manure and philosopher one though - too many hits.

INTERNET. What is with people starting to call the internet the interweb? I've seen it a few times and it makes me want to rap them on the knuckles.

Sorry, but that's INTERNETWORK!

 

[brewnog]

Calling it the interweb is ace, though more precisely it should be "t'interweb" in a Yorkshire accent. 'Interthing' is a pretty good synonym.

I knew about the battle of Chester already; I just found the year (or years) on the interweb.

 

[Evo]

interweb.

AAARRRGHHH!

Come here and hold out your hands...

"2. Where can a Roman emperor be found with 90km diameter."

You sure it's km? My google search keeps trying to correct it to mm. The only km hit I get is this PF thread...


EDIT -- Ouch! Evo, cut it out. I didn't even mention the inter-whatever! All I said was "google"...

2. Where can a Roman emperor be found with 90km diameter.

Here you go: Julius was 90km wide

3. Who was the philosopher who tried to cure his sight with cow manure and baking in the sun.

My guesses would be Gandhi or Pliny.

I know I've read about the eye thing, and it's driving me nuts.

I don't think I could say interweb for a whole week.

(Actually, I thought it was a British thing since it seems it's the Brits calling it the interweb usually. Sort of like their answerphone contraptions...is voicemail the same in both English languages?)

Interweb would be more descriptive as it branches in any old direction not a grid like pattern.
Or even it is chaotic , so may be intermess would be better.

Interweb (sometimes intarweb(s)) is an ironic term used to indicate inexperience by intentionally and incorrectly merging the terms 'Internet' and 'World Wide Web'. The joke is that many inexperienced users access content on the World Wide Web (or "Web") via the "Internet" without knowing what either is. [1]

The term interweb originated as the hacker culture response to the ever-increasing influx of inexperienced users to the Internet's forums and chat rooms. Whereas the Internet had previously been the exclusive domain of the tech-savvy, it was now attracting millions of newcomers (newbies) who were now participating in it (often with poor netiquette). Referring to the Internet as the interweb mocks the inexperience and ignorance of these newcomers, whose lack of understanding of the workings of the 'net' would often amuse or annoy the more experienced.

I believe that should say sarcastic, not ironic.
