Default 8 year old attempts to print the Internet

In a wacky story out of North Dakota, an 9 year old boy is attempting to print every page on the internet, just to prove his cousin wrong.

Link

I'm gonna side with Mikey here, this can't be done.

"The bet came about during the main course of the family's Thanksgiving lunch after a heated debate between Cody and Mikey about the size of the Internet and the feasibility of printing it out. Under the terms of the bet, Cody has six months to complete the printing and if Mikey can find a site on the Internet which has not been printed he wins the bet, if he can’t he loses"

Edit: Title should say 9 year old, not 8.

"under the condition that websites which contain adult or obscene content be excluded from the bet"

I can't think of something any stupider than this. Every day, thousands of new pages are created. New sites. New threads on messageboards.

This kids parents are even stupider than the kid.

I didn't read the whole article... Does it mention who is planning on paying for all that WASTED paper and ink?

Edit... I guess there is a stupid computer store owner helping out... Sorry, I quit reading after the 'good christian' BS about filth and humble homes.

Either way, when it comes to pay articles, this kid will lose. There are tons of Online Journals, paysites, non-porn, etc.

No matter what, from the second this kid finishes printing each page, in the time it takes to dial the number of his buddy to say he won the bet, there will be at least 10 new pages created.
