The origin of LOL!

What is the most used phrase in chat, Facebook, Twitter,.... online?
-LOL.
That's right. We all use it when something's really funny...or you just don't know what else to say.

And if you've been living in a cave or something and don't know what LOL is, it means "laugh out loud" (although some people say it was supposed to stand for "lots of laugh").

There are SO many different variations of "LOL":

  • lolz
  • LOLOLOLOL
  • loOoooo0l
  • lawl
and many, many others.

Sooo, I was sitting thinking to myself, "Hmmm, who came up with LOL?" -yes, I'm pretty sad like that.
and I Googled it and this is something I found interesting:

Anyway, lemme know what you guys think.
