What happened to Cowboy TV?

He was a wolf skulking among the folds, making a quick end to promising young stories. But a brave user cried "wolf" calling the folding posse together to hunt Cowboy TV.

"Come and get me, SlimWhitman," said Cowboy TV. "You and all your pitiful folding idiots." Cowboy TV transformed then into a literal wolf and bought a 1-way ticket to Switzerland.

But SlimWhitman was momentarily detained from responding to Cowboy TV's dare. Cowboy TV sought the best Swiss doctor to cute its lupus, but wolf doctors deal more with dentistry.

There was a red wolf who did take on lupus cases, named Dr. George. Slim Whitman called Dr. George and made an appointment.

He watched Slim, typing furiously on his phone & mumbling what sounded like "4-minutes-180-only-180-fold-pass-fold-pass" and something about a manatee. "Mr. Whitman", the Dr. said,

Indeed, the upload rate is the problem - even with a direct neural interface.

Another problem is that, according to Eric Schmidt the CEO of Google, the internet is about 5 million terabytes, and the human brain can store only about 10 terabytes.

Arguably, there are things on the internet one can probably do very well without. I wonder what a word cloud of the internet's content would look like?
