![]() UNIVAC Computer Delivered to the US Census Bureau (1951)By 1870, the US population was so large that hand-counting the census was no longer feasible. Despite the invention of a counting machine, by the time the 1880 census was tabulated, it was almost 1890. Dealing with so much data remained a problem until the late 1940s, when the Census Bureau commissioned the first civilian computer. In 1951, it was used to count part of the 1950 census and was so successful that the bureau bought another. What presidential election did UNIVAC correctly predict? More... Discuss |

I had forgot they had this song, I had always thought of them as one hit wonders with the theme song from Friends.
There's a comic that I like, Rob Paravonian, He does a bit on that theme song. I'll leave you a link. He cracks me up.

I've seen exactly two episodes of Friends...and they were the same show, the one about the monkey humping legs.
To each his own, but I never cared for that show. It's nothing against any of the actors, because I like each of them in other things they've done, but I never could sit and watch that sitcom. I would admit I've never given it a chance, plus I've always known it would be on in syndication forever.
Never had seen that comic but that was a funny bit and I also had to watch his rant on Pachebel and his Canon in D. That was hilarious, even though I love that song.
Gonna have to watch the rest of his vids, thanks for the link!
It was that Pachebel's Rant that introduced me to Rob P. His other vids are pretty funny too, particularly the series on being a comic. Definitely worth watching.
I like this song because at the end the tables get turned on the woman. I've had that same sort of chance a couple times in my life and it was so sweet; wished I'd been more cold-blooded as to really have rubbed it in, but I didn't. It felt better to just have some class, tell them I wasn't interested in them any longer.
