B3ta is being market researched... I got this email'Some bloke from BMRB (one of the uk's biggest market research agencies) came round and administered what is known as an Omnibus survey. These are fairly large surveys, in the magnitude of 1000 to 2000 interviews conducted nationwide. The questionnaires are syndicated, in that several companies will each pay for a small number of questions (5 or 6) to be inserted. So what you're thinking...
'One of the sections was on t'Intenet and was, I'm guessing, commissioned by the BBC - it had questions on general Internet usage, then usage of the BBC site and then finally had a 'Which of these sites have you been to?' question: possible answers - AOL, MSN, Freeserve, Amazon, Ebay (etc etc you get the idea)... and last but not least the mighty b3ta.'

B3ta is 840 years oldIt was started by 2 monks on the isle of jura in 1162.
They would hold "scribe this" competitions across a network of churchs via carrier pigeon.
This ancient art has recently been updated for the Internet, and mostly we've stopped wearing robes (except on special occasions.)
