the end

The first time I saw the last page on the internet I tittered. I thought it was beautifully simple, like the best jokes.

This was some time ago. I'm not sure if the page I originally saw is still around, but google reveals that there are a number now. This is a classic example of copying a nice idea and wrecking it. Here are some examples of the end of the internet:

• Simple last page - I like it.
  
• Another simple page.
  
• Too busy for my liking. The joke has stopped being funny now.
  
• You copied the joke and the website. Idiot.
  
• Moron. You didn't even understand the joke.

Instead of trying to be funny by copying (and in most cases ruining) the joke, why not have a second to last page on the internet? That way the joke carries on and would allow people to browse the last chapter of the internet. Or - now get this - come up with your own joke.
