Well, I asked ChatGPT:

> Infinity is not a number, odd or even, but rather a concept or a mathematical idea that represents an unbounded or limitless quantity.

Therefore, the concept of odd or even does not apply to infinity.

That is as much hacking as pouring water over a public pluviometer. Might even be closer to vandalizing if you asked actual users of that route during the experiment. But, to be fair, I enjoyed it a lot when it was first posted.

A book that I loved since the first time I picked it from a library shelf back in 1998 or so, "Computer - A history of the information machine", lists the following book as additional resource about the history of the Internet: Abbate, Janet (2000). Inventing the Internet[1].

"Janet Abbate recounts the key players and technologies that allowed the Internet to develop; but her main focus is always on the social and cultural factors that influenced the Internet's design and use."

I found myself wanting to read the Javascript section in one go after opening the first few entries, so I did:
