Usenet Culture
I saw a really classic Usenet exchange recently. This was on rec.bicycles.tech in a thread about women's bicycle saddles.
Summary: B caught J out pretending to be a high school student. J now claims to be a computer program.
J: The distance between the ischial tuberosities ("sit bones") is known as the transverse diameter of the pelvic outlet.
B: Who says they don't teach anything useful in high school nowadays?
J: ???
B: Didn't you claim to be a pimply high school nerd last week?
J: I am 30,000 lines of lisp.
B: ???
J:(loop (post (eval (read))))
