Internet Chicks Sure, here are six interesting internet secrets you may not have known:

1. **The 404 Error Code Origin**: The famous "404 Not Found" error code actually originated from the room number 404 in the CERN laboratories in Switzerland, where the World Wide Web was invented. It was the room where the web's servers were located.

2. **The First Webcam Was for Coffee**: The world's first webcam was created at the University of Cambridge to help people avoid pointless trips to the coffee pot. It provided a live 128x128 greyscale image of the state of the coffee pot to all desktop computers on the internal network.

3. **Google's First Tweet**: Google's first-ever tweet was "I'm feeling lucky," posted on February 26, 2009. It's a reference to the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button on Google's homepage, which takes users directly to the first search result.

4. **The World's Most Powerful Internet Cable**: Marea, the highest-capacity subsea cable to cross the Atlantic Ocean, was jointly commissioned by Microsoft, Facebook, and Telxius. It stretches over 4,000 miles (6,600 kilometers) and can transmit up to 160 terabits of data per second.

5. **The Origin of CAPTCHA**: CAPTCHA, those annoying tests you take to prove you're not a robot, stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart." It was invented in 1997 by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University.

6. **The First YouTube Video**: The first video ever uploaded to YouTube is titled "Me at the zoo" and was uploaded by co-founder Jawed Karim on April 23, 2005. It features him standing in front of elephants at the San Diego Zoo and has since garnered millions of views.
