Rumor has it that Al Gore not only invented the internet, he actually invented most of computer science as we know it. That's why they call computational methods "Al-Gore-ithms" Wink

Don't forget the homage paid to Gore by Arthur C. Clarke: the spaceship computer in A Space Odyssey is not named AL 9000 by chance!

It is actually named HAL (name was obtained by moving one or two letters away from IBM)...strictly speaking, it probably should have been GAL (one letter away afrom IBM), but it was probably politically incorrect even back then, lol.
