Executive summary:
It's rival pirates battling for treasure, with Yahoo holding the key to
the treasure chest it can never unlock because then the world will know
the contents are just a pile of musty old bones. Google shares the dark
secret with Yahoo, in a blood oath that seeks to keep Microsoft chasing
rainbows. But Microsoft suspects the truth, and wants to scupper Yahoo;
sending its captain down to Davey Jones Locker, so it can battle Google
in open waters, and claim Neptune's crown as "King of the High Seas".
Soon to be a major motion picture, starring Sweaty Ballmer as Master
Bates, Eric Schmidt as Seaman Staines, Jerry Yang as Roger the Cabin
Boy, and Carl Icahn as mister Polly, the dead Norwegian-blue parrot.
