The Internet has revolutionized how we access news, communication and even education. It is often hailed as the most important development in humanity’s history since we learned how to make tools and farm food.
Of course, the most important innovation of the Internet is its capacity to provide us with an instant laugh when we need a pick-me-up. If you are in the mood for some laughs, check out these paragons of humor and you will not be disappointed.

Beaton’s comics will no doubt prompt you into reading up on the amusing, absurd, and often scandalous lives of our forefathers – who says that learning isn’t fun?
Okay, so LOLcats are no longer at the cutting edge of internet humor, but the fact remains that there’s still something damn funny about the idea of cats talking – and that, of course, they would not be able to use proper English.
Anyone who doesn’t laugh at least once after flicking through a few of the LOLcats on I Can Haz Cheezburger clearly has a malfunctioning funny bone and needs a visit from Serious Cat.
