The World Wide Web, the most popular part of the Internet, started in 1989 with 50 people sharing web pages (timeline). Today, at least 500 million people use the Web every week as part of their lives. According to Netcraft, it received responses from 96,854,877 websites across the world in September, an increase of 4.3% over last month and 500% over the beginning of this century.
So if there are ninety seven million websites and we apply the Infinite monkey theorem, we can deduce that there must be a large proportion of very strange websites out there.
