Surfing the web
when bored and
having nothing else to do is, depending on your viewpoint, a growing
world problem or a pastime for nerds like me. It is extremely
addictive. I have not had a date in more than six months, and
I
really like the dark cave-like room where my computer is set up.
No worries about skin cancer, right?
Once, I
Googled for God. Out of curiosity, I wanted to see what would
come up. The word "God" gave some 566,000,000 results after
only
0.05 seconds. Wow! God is really popular and fast.
However,
no matter what entry I clicked on, or even assisted by my copy of the
O'Reilly Google Pocket Guide, I never found his home page.
Could
God be computer illiterate? Has God not paid the fee to his ISP?
Has God's server crashed? However, I did find that
the
domain "iamgod.com" was for sale. I thought about buying it.
but
then people might ask me to perform miracles. Miracles?
I
have a hard enough time getting out of bed. The water to wine
thing was cool, but that is not my bag. I am a dark beer guy.
Recently,
in another moment of boredom, I typed "space travel," to see what would
come up. There were some 158,000,000 "hits," almost as many
as
for God. Could I narrow this down? Were there any
space
travel agencies? I typed "space travel agency".
Yes, a
bunch of them; mainly Russians ran them. Seemed like millionaires with
excess cash want to go into space.
Hmmm, here was one that did not look like any Russians ran
it:

Let's see what's there.
