Well, I finally got around to downloading it. It includes this gem:

"But of the millions who type "http://www..." every day, how many realize
that -- like the universe itself -- it all began with high-energy physics?"

Bwhahaha!

Heck, we could change our mission statement: "Leveraging the full potential
of the Universe" -- it wouldn't change our scope of activity much...

Actually, for the record, the Web is defined at the W3C as "the universe of
all network-accessible information"
