The History of the Internet, Part II: Revenge of the Hens

Posted by Alan Childress

If only to refute the thesis that the internet is a huge public relations device invented by cats as part of their plan to rule the world, you can watch hens live on the captivating Hencam voyeur site.  Note that the hens are British so you may not fully understand them (unless you’re reading LPB from England or Wales).  The original thesis of the cat-dominance of the internet is found as The History of Blogging, shown right.

Near home, I often drive by a street named Henfer.  I admit I always skip the set-up question and answer myself, if only in an internal monolog, by saying, “why…for plucking, of course.”  Then I laugh out loud; what a dork.

(HatTip for Hencam goes to EE, which also links the FAIL blog, depicting countless real epic failures, such as the Marketing Fail sign saying “We sell inconvenient & unsafe products,” reminiscent of Ackroyd’s Bag O’ Glass.  Or the Fine Collection Fail shown left.)

The hen sounds are actually quite comforting as background while blogging.
