LOL. This is almost as good as when I found out that 1830s New Englanders liked to use "comical misspellings". If only photography had been more advanced, they may have come up with lolcats on their own.

...I remember when the emoticons started appearing back in the mid;80's on BBS's and BITNET relay chats, and someone quoted Keppler back then. Most people didn't know who he was anymore, and apparently didn't care that much.
