Vladimir, Vladimir, Vladimir...about the history of the Internet?

You put both feet in it the other day, I hear.

Everyone who cares already knows that the Internet started out as a DARPA project.

DARPA, as in the US Defense Department. You remember the Pentagon, right?

Not CIA. Granted that they've been getting their share of benefits out of the Net's existence, same as you and me. (Well, me, anyway.) But it didn't start with CIA, however much you and they may both fantasize about how history might have been.

Ah, and the Guardian just put me in mind of real reasons for making noises like that.
