Internet cookies are delicious phantasmal biscuits that are awarded to people who do something cool/funny.

...I must of mixed it up with something else... or my brain just made something up There was a very early prototype virus known as the Cookie Monster that would lock down computers and demand cookies. More than a nuisance than anything else, all you had to do was type "cookie" and it would unlock the system. |
