Well, I suppose fiber optics are tiny little tubes...
Dance to senator saying Net is 'series of tubes'

*************************
Commentary and parodies are
spreading across the Web after U.S.
Sen. Ted Stevens, chairman of the
Senate Commerce, Science and
Transportation Committee, described
the Internet as a "series of tubes"
during a debate on net neutrality
June 28. Stevens went on to say that
his staff sent him an "Internet"
that was apparently delayed by Net...
You'd think that since a senator invented the Internet, they'd understand how the thing works better...
