THE AMISH BUILD A LAPTOP!
We all know the Amish don't use electricity, and they don't have phones, or anything to do with modern technology. But if you do a search on the web for "Amish", you will find a ton of Amish web sites. Hmmm.... How are they getting on the Internet? Up until now that was a mystery...
Well, we wanted to know, so we sent a secret agent into the AMISH TECHNOLOGY RESOURCE CENTER located in a remote underground bunker in Intercourse, Pennsylvania... What he found shocked us... and now we bring his findings directly to you... THE FIRST WORKING AMISH LAPTOP COMPUTER!!!!
Well... OK... so it's not exactly what we would call a computer....but it's the most advanced abacus in history! Using ultra-low tech antique equipment the Amish have actually built a portable "computer" that is capable of accessing the Internet!

Disclaimer: We have gotten a couple of emails saying that we are making fun of someone's religion and we should stop. DD Parodies does not want to make fun of anyone's religion, and we don't here. We just use one facet of Amish lifestyle (no technology) and try to make a little humor of it in light of the fact that there seem to be a lot of actual Amish sites out there. Amish are a Christian sect, and although they have some very conservative views and believe in separating themselves from society in large... as far as we can tell, they have the same basic Christian beliefs as most orthodox protestants, and nowhere does DD Parodies make fun of their religion. So, there!
