In the beginning ARPA created the ARPANET.
And the ARPANET was without form and void.
And darkness was upon the deep.
And the spirit of ARPA moved upon the face of the network
and ARPA said,
'Let there be a protocol', and there was a protocol.
And ARPA saw that it was good.
And ARPA said,
'Let there be more protocols', and it was so.
And ARPA saw that it was good.
And ARPA said,
'Let there be more networks', and it was so.

Military Intelligence Not an oxymoron in 1969
It was the Department Of Defense that commissioned the ARPANET in 1969, a
rare example of the US military breaking away from its official motto,
"The Leading Edge Of Yesterday's Technology(tm)"....
Ever since I was a young boy,
I've hacked the ARPA ne
From Berkeley down to Rutgers, He's on my favorite terminal,
Any access I could get, He cats C right into foo,
But ain't seen nothing like him, His disciples lead him in,
On any campus yet, And he just breaks the root,
That deaf, dumb, and blind kid, Always has full SYS-PRIV's,
Sure sends a mean packet....
