Blood Brothers. And Sisters. And Pets.

In modern times, a common blood brother ceremony includes having each person make a small cut, usually on a finger or the forearm, and then the two cuts are pressed together and bound, the idea being that each person’s blood now flows in the other participant’s veins. In the early days of the World Wide Web, it was considered amazing to see pictures on the Internet.

Then people said, “This is not really multimedia; we don’t have music.” So began Napster and illegal file sharing of music. Until you can smell something on the Internet, it’s not really multimedia. They’re working on it.

Pretty soon you will have to remember to apply deodorant before you log on.

I am moving a step ahead. Everybody who reads my new secret blog has to take an oath of silence. We have to become blood brothers. And blood sisters. And if your pets are reading this over your shoulder–Little Liu! Cut that out!–you have to become a pet brother and sister as well.

We will have to exchange blood over the Internet so we can become blood kin, forever sworn to silence.

Prepare to share blood over the Internet.

I like the family tress.
