Hot new industry - tube stuffing

From http://blog.wired.com/27BStroke6/?entry_id=1512499:

Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska)...gave an amazing primer on how the internet works.:

I just the other day got, an internet[0] was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday[1]. Why?

Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially. [...]the internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck.

It's a series of tubes.

And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

Sen. Stevens doesn't understand the miracle that has been bestowed upon him. The tubes of the internet are made of ziti, the highest choir of pasta, and this delay was obviously a direct communication from our Savory Lord. His Noodly Appendage is truly everywhere.


[0] Erm. Yeah.
[1] My sympathies with the IT staff of Teddy for getting publicly pantsed like that.
