Remember the Dark Ages? Of course you don't, that's why they're the Dark Ages. Mankind backslid into a mumbling, mud-shoveling rut and no one took any notes. Well, the Internet will never let that happen again. Things like the Lycos Top 50 keep track of exactly what the American people are thinking about.
Unfortunately, the Internet is a couple thousand years too late for mysteries like the pyramids in Egypt. Our guest believes he has solved the mystery and that the pyramids are actually huge water pumps. You figure someone would have written the instructions down or something. Even if mankind disappeared off the face of the earth, aliens visiting Hoover Dam could still go down to the control room, pull out a manual, and go ""Hey, this thing is a dam!""
