Patron Saint of the Internet (yawn)

Yet another attempt to decide who should be the patron saint of the Internet: you can vote at http://www.santibeati.it/, reports the LA Times [free registration and pop-up stopper required]. A year ago, according to Wired, seventh-century Spanish encyclopedist Saint Isidore of Seville (560-636) was leader of the pack. (Wired also covered The Search For A Saint in 1999.) SatireWire has offered some sample prayers. At the current rate of progress, there is likely to be a decision this century, but it isn't going to make any difference to the amount of porn spam in your e-mail.
