Webby winners felicitated, even Al Gore wins one!

The Webby Awards, presented to the world's best websites in various categories, were awarded earlier this week.

The strange thing about the awards function is that winners' speeches must be exactly five words long.

Al Gore, who has been lampooned several times for allegedly claiming that he created the internet during an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, won a lifetime achievement award for the political initiatives he took during his vice presidency to provide support for the growth of the internet. He had the audience in splits with his acceptance speech (or is that sentence?). He said, "Please, don't recount this vote".
