Geocities 1997 and Olive Oil!!!

by Brian K Miller » Tue Sep 27, 2016 7:38 pm

I was trying to do research on a one-time local olive oil producer when I came across their website via Google Maps link.
http://extra-virgin-olive-oil-c.eu/OLIV ... inity.html

My eyes were boggled

Thirty years after George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four
The Big Brother's Service Castes hire and fire dehumanized Proles,
Middle class disappears mingled mixed with the caste of Proles,
altogether losing jobs, sales and hopes.

An emerging public health issue arises
How much of extra virgin olive oil or virgin olive oil or any other olive oil or olive oil mixes
are adulterated with technical vegetable genetically modified biodiesel oils?

TYPE OF FRAUD MAKES A DIFFERENCE
70% of cheaper extra virgin olive oil sold is a fraud: The Guardian, 13 January, 2012


This is simply.....epic.... :shock: :lol: :roll:

Yep, Peter.

The Geocities reference was only to the way some websites used to look during the wild and "primitive" days of the Innertubes! :lol:

You used to be able to find sites like this with multiple fonts, screaming colors, odd cut-and-paste graphics files and endlessly scrolling texts. Geocities was a web hosting site that seemed to collect these amazing creations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_GeoCities

Yahoo bought it and shut it down. :roll: :evil:

There used to be this amazing screed called TIMECUBE (now gone :( ) that babbled endlessly about four days in one cubic time and evil scientists. Page after page after page.

Maybe I should have put this in the Basement under Friends, but it was (indirectly) food related.
