My only question is: Why?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Information (contained in word) much older on a scale

Nah... Word was only released in 1983!

I think my wife fed me a stupid pill again this morning, but I don't get your post? 
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Let me help you understand.
Griff simply said Word (the Microsoft product) was released in 1983.
The joke is that Mandeep was referring to actual words (like "cat" and "peanut").
And Mandeep was trying to say information was here long before "The father of Information Technology", in which Mandeep fails to understand that Shannon was the father of Information Technology, not just Information.
All in all a pretty funny play on words (hah!) 
I don't know what pills you've been on, but luckily the internet is a friendly place with nice people who are willing to help without making you feel stupid

Thanks for clarifying. Griff's post was somewhat obscure. I don't feel so stupid anymore!

I think we must be on different Internets.

My thoughts exactly, but I didn't want to hurt his feelings. It wouldn't be appropriate for the friendly Internet!

Shannon was the father of Information Theory, not technology, there's a huge difference.
As an Electrical Engineer I had to study his equations, and his theory was the cornerstone of modern thinking about information, close to E=MC2's impact in physics, and led to everything we're doing now!
His theory opened the door to satellite communications and any form of digital communication that occurs, giving us a full understand of the properties of the communication channel.
Good explanation here: Information theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^]

There is also an awesome book by James Gleick called "The Information". A recommended read for everyone involved in information sciences. Shannon plays a huge role in it, of course.

Yeah, I misspoke/typed.
I failed his subject three times at University 
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

Well, what time zone is the current champion in?
It's now 06:00 here in Phoenix and I don't want to be up yet.
Try this for now:
textBox1.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Gold ;
textBox1.Text = this.Darling.DisplayName ;

On second thought, let's make that: incontrovertible proof that human beings are more stupid than cats. On third thought, let's make that: Cats Masters think up new tricks for their amusing human slaves.
"Since the dawn of time, humans have been confounded by cats, those mystifyingly aloof creatures whose inner thoughts are famously inscrutable. But no longer! Temptations Cat Treats has invented a cat collar that lets your feline speak in a human voice—so you can finally understand (though probably not) exactly what she is trying to tell you.
The Temptations Catterbox, created by London ad agency adam&eveDDB, contains a microphone, speaker, Bluetooth technology and wifi. It captures the cat's meows and translates them into human speech—words that may or may not actually be what they're trying to say:" [^]

Thanks, Griff, link fixed.
