"The system, which he devised in his spare time in 1991..."

Huh. In my spare time I make bird houses.

Actually, I invented bird houses.

So, the Brits think one of their own invented the Internet in his spare time back in 1991?...Wasn't the Internet a product of a US Defense Department program to link key defense sites? And as I recall, I was already an AOL user back in 1991, when this guy was still "tinkering."

Crucially, Mr Berners-Lee gave his invention away

Knighthood for Publicity-Shy Inventor of the World Wide Web

I don't think Al Gore deserves knighthood, and I've never known him to be "publicity-shy".

What's that? It's some other guy? oh, nevermind...
