This is the First Photo Ever Uploaded to the Internets
Once upon a time, a long time ago, the interwebs images were only a dream. But all that ended when the very first photo was uploaded. To think, without this image modern pr0n probably wouldn't exist. It is a feat even less impressive than the photo. And, to be fair, I am more excited about finding out with is the LAST photo ever uploaded. Nonetheless...
What you see here is the first image ever uploaded to the World Wide Web. It’s a graphic featuring a promo shot for comedy band Les Horribles Cernettes, and was uploaded almost exactly 20 years ago by Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web. The Web had already used a few small vector image files to show off schematics, but Berners-Lee and his team needed a guinea pig for the leap into photos.
So there you go. Enjoy the photo...it is a scorcher.
