Mother Teresa died in 1997, before the internet age really took off.

Christopher Hitchens died in 2011. His career as a provocateur extended well into the internet age. In fact, he relied on the internet to spread his words and deeds.

Interesting then, that a Google search for "Mother Teresa" turns up over 9.2 million hits, while a Google search for "Christopher Hitchens" nets only 4.8 milliton hits -- even though Hitchens really built his name through the internet.

I think this is an interesting look into how posterity eventually separates people of genuine accomplishment from people who are really just self-promoters. In a year, I suspect Mother Teresa's lead over Hitchens will lengthen.

It is interesting to note too that a Google search today for "Mother Teresa" with "Christopher Hitchens" nets 117,000 hits. My guess is that a significant percentage of Hitchens' future hits will result from the relationship created by Hitchens' rather pathetic attempt to build a following by attacking someone of genuine accomplishment -- someone to be discussed and celebrated for posterity.

This Google trend chart is interesting. Since Hitchens' death, his trend is downward, while Mother Teresa's trend remains consistent, and is currently trending at over three times the interest in Hitchens, and the trend is that this gap is widening over time.

Two reasons:

1. Hitchens annihilated that sadistic cunt and this no doubt has contributed to her Internet infamy. And...

2. The trillion dollar catholic saint-making industry works 24-7 manufacturing myths surrounding their criminals.

Who gives a fuck? This is like a JSO research essay on a topic no one really gives a shit about.

Joe went fishing for a D1B fish and caught one in less than an hour. If life were really that easy.

In the meantime, "Chocolate Rain," by Tay Zonday, 1997, has garnered over 1 billion (that's "billion" with a "b") hits on You Tube.

That's where you are wrong, bucko.

My research is being published next month in the Harvard Journal of Popular Culture, Arts, and Assistant Anthropology.

Cappy is fairly lethargic these days until after 12pmCT. Even then large bold fonts and ts and colorful memes are need to land the great whale.

So a man gets onto a celebrity games show called celebrity 20 questions. Each contestant gets paired up with a celebrity from the panel and each round you are given a word and you must get your celebrity to guess what it is. It's his turn and the host announces he's been teamed up with Mother Teresa. He thinks to himself "Alright, not bad. She's really old and wise. This should be cake."
Then he gets his word and it's FAT DICK.
He thinks to himself, "Fuck! I can't get mother Teresa to say fat dick. Even if I could it would mean I'm going to hell.... Ugh, But I REALLY NEED THE MONEY!"
He decides to give it his best shot.
Mother Teresa asked her first question.
"Can you eat it?"
The man thinks... "Well, kind of"
Mother Teresa asks without hesitation - "Is it a FAT DICK?"

You know, klam, that's your generation's version of the old "Password" show joke involving Prince Charles and Lady Diana. It's even racier. I'll tell it to you sometime.

Do we get credit in your footnotes and part of your royalties?

If not, I expect Ivy to represent us in the upcoming class action suit.

Yes. The checks are in the mail as we speak. Fortunately my study was bankrolled by a research grant from the federal government.

Gubmint money? Woo-hoo! I've heard that stuff is unlimited.

The money will start to roll in, baby! And to think, all of our wives and bosses keep telling us to stop wasting our time posting our brainitudes on the interwebs.

Man, I can't wait to show them all the extra zeros coming my way. In charge and livin' large!!
