At least the PageRank of that page will not attract too many innocent
surfers. This has been very amusing to read. Thanks for sharing.

A C.P.U.'s speed is measured by the amount of busses it has. A Bus is a tiny
microscopic electronic component that carries computer data. The more
busses a cpu has, the more data can be carried at once, the faster it is.
Most of today's modern C.P.U.s have over 700 busses.
