The very first photo ever published on the web
This is awesome!
Here's the backstory:Back in 1992, after their show at the CERN Hardronic Festival, my colleague Tim Berners-Lee asked me for a few scanned photos of "the CERN girls" to publish them on some sort of information system he had just invented, called the "World Wide Web". I had only a vague idea of what that was, but I scanned some photos on my Mac and FTPed them to Tim's now famous "info.cern.ch". How was I to know that I was passing an historical milestone, as the one above was the first picture ever to be clicked on in a web browser!"
I'm going to take this as proof that the web was invented so that guys could upload pictures of girls. That sound about right?

Tim Berners-Lee? I thought Al Gore invented the web?
So the Interwebz were invented to show off chicks. Interesting.
I'd say that sounds about right.
...this was from CERN? as in hadron collider CERN? O_O i'm impressed.
I knew the internet was evil.
Aww they look cute, but I can't think that caption is very nice.
Do those women know they are in the first photo posted on the web? That my friend is a story for the kids/ grand kids.
I believe it.
Yeah, that sounds about right to me. But I'm finding it hard to believe this is the first.
CERN's so cool.
internet is a portal which 80% (4 out of 5) americans use to utilize porn proven statistic
hmmm first pic ever eh....
Interesting.
there would be no internet if its development wasn't fed by the porn industry...if you read up on any comprehensive history of the internet you will see this, I am not making it up. It is interesting, says something about human nature. : )
wow, guys out there... imagine jacking off to that pic
