MOSCOW (AP) — Fourteen followers of a self-declared prophet emerged Tuesday from a dank, muddy cave in Russia after melting snow damaged the hillside shelter where they had been waiting for the world to end, officials said.

I invented the google search engine by the way...gave it away free in Hypercard
City back on old GEnie...the Favorites of MSN table too...mine was on the right. Of course the Apple genius that made Hypercard made that possible!
Lemego get a bit of prohecy!...brb...well...this isn't quite what I had in mind...what I said in the old weblog was that someday the scholars would put up a search engine...that hasn't happened insomuch wikipedia is inside the other engines...but it's at the top of que so often that it is like that, and like what I imagined!...but here's a bit from the old log...
quote (me)
I've watched television and movies all my life--I'm from the first full fledged TV generation. And the vast majority of these films are detective stories--mysteries. We watch the heroes follow clues. So my generation isn't without "skills" when solving mysteries. A curious attitude is now second nature, and it should be no surprise that government and our history is examined and questioned, and possible conspiracies imagined. We like this kinda stuff.
Along with this we have a sifting ability. Just finding our favorite movies, keeping track of favorite actors, keeping abrest of all the Hollywood stories, has given us this.
Now, with the web, we can interact. We're gonna raise hell. We'll sniff out every tree, bush, and clump of weeds!

I'll make no conjecture about what the "first web generation" will be up to! No hundred year plans here...
But Prophets are powerful figures...nothing stops Vegas more than someone who can tell how the dice will roll or what card is next.
No web history of old GEnie has been up last I looked..just a little bit on wikipedia...brb...
That page hasn't changed since I last read it...the real descendent of GEnie is the Google Groups...and both borrowed from USENET...brb...

A few on GEnie noted my enthusiasims and recommended USENET...but it was bit beyond my computer literacy!!
Early on I infotracked....the Libraries had search engines long before google...GEnie..and found newstory that said in effect the GEnie was General Electrics "experiment"...brb...here's Melvyl story...
The first thing, kinda, I looked up was Poetry...and I couldn't find anything at my local libray except something offical from a Congressional Record...I was in a government document database!...but nearby in the search was a story of a ship...a missing ship that congress investigated...I think it was called the USS Poet...brb...well...no wonder I got curious!!

Through his membership in P-2, Haig became aware of the new crisis facing the Gambino Mafia family and others in international organized crime. According to Honnegar, there was a factor which affected the "October Surprise" hostage negotiations which Loftus and Aarons (who maintain that the "October Surprise" never occurred--at least not as a manifestation of U.S. intelligence operations done against sitting President Jimmy Carter) fail to factor in. This was the crisis which Licio Gelli faced in connection with the hijacking of a ship, called the U.S.S. Poet, which was described in the media at the time of its hijacking as containing a cargo of "corn" Subsequent investigation by Interpol, however, revealed that the Poet didn't have corn on board, but heroin. It was in fact a ship used by the Italian Gambino Mafia family to carry heroin to the east coast of the United States. It had been captured by the Gambinos for use as a heroin transport, but in the midst of its voyage, it was diverted to Iran. There, the Iranian radicals seized its passengers. Even more important, they seized its load of heroin (Honnegar 236-42).
