well, OOC and OT since i just ran out the door, but i guess i need those explained to me.

i take it that the berners-lee chart is supposedly funny because he is indeed the real inventor of the web. and if i understand the joke correctly, it would be alot funnier if the list was authored by Dr. Paul Mockapetris, the accredited inventor of DNS.

as for the Tolstoy chart, the only humor i can see in it is that it is completely non-senseical and the items represented are completely unrelated. i am probably just not educated enough to apreciate the humor, so if someonce could please explain this, i would be grateful. please explain in simple, childlike, small words, as i am prone to misunderstanding many forms of high-art.

i thought this one was funny though (note the small number of braincells required to understand the humor):
