Some have a lot of ice. We need a windy day to take it out. Most lakes are ice free.

UCLA professor of information studies, Philip E. Agre and journalist Eric Boehlert both argue that three articles in Wired News led to the creation of the widely spread urban legend that Gore claimed to have "invented the Internet." This urban legend became "an automatic laugh. Jay Leno, David Letterman, or any other comedic talent can crack a joke about Al Gore 'inventing the Internet, and the audience is likely to respond with howls of laughter.

He didn't [I]invent[/I] the Internet, but has been involved with it's development since the 1970s, including the "High Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991". Click [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Internet"]here[/URL] for the history of the Internet.

Maybe he invented global warming? :shrug:
