So, what is this crazy, spaced-out, hyped up, piece of whack that everyone keeps talking about?? The answer? A blog.
Now some people might tell you that the 'blog' originated from the words "blue" and "hog". My advice if you ever come into contact with these kind of people, is to run very fast and very far, because these people are most likely mentally unbalanced or just simply on drugs. Of course the blog did not originate from the words "blue" and "hog", which is an absurd idea and one that I definitely did not find funny the first time i heard it.
According to wikipedia.com, the blog originated from the term 'weblog' which was first used by Jorn Barger on 17th December 1997, but would you really trust someone named Jorn? Of course you wouldn't because it's a ridiculous name. Anyway, sometime during the months of April or May of 1999, another man, with a much more sensible name; Peter Merholz, created the term we now use; blog, when he very wittily separated the term weblog into we blog on his own blog. Obviously Mr Merholz thought this was very clever and that he was quite the witty man for having created it, although it has since been scientifically proven that it was not clever and he was not a witty man. He most likely had very few friends, owned an excessive amount of pet cats to which he referred to them all as 'his preciousss' and was generally just a bit shit.
And there you have it folks, the origins of a blog. All the above facts are of course true, with the small exception of a few, which are not so much facts, as little bits of fiction added for the purposes of humor.
Anyway, that's quite enough for now, I hope you all feel very much enlightened and that you are now capable of delivery various different blog related facts to your friends and family.
Peace out.
Mr Fancy.
