Queen Elizabeth II Honors Creator of World Wide Web

From CNN.com---

Tim Berners-Lee, the London-born scientist who invented the World Wide Web, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II Friday.

He received the knighthood in recognition of his services to the development of the Internet through the invention of the Web, a system to organize, link and browse pages on the Internet.

The Queen made the 49-year-old scientist a knight commander, the second-highest rank of the Order of the British Empire, in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

What about Al Gore? He invented the Internet, too! Thhhp!
