    You may be pedantic, but you’re right. The internet was around in the 70s, but the WWW, which is what we commonly think of when talking about the internet, is from the late 80s, early 90s.

    However, it’s not like the phrase or concept of “walking like an Egyptian” came from the 1980s pop song; they were making that joke even in cartoons from the 40s. And I’m sure it pre-dates those, too. So /u/Gladaed is still incorrect.
