The database that can store the Internet

Wouldn't it be awesome if you could save the entire Internet into a database? Well, you can now do so! Infinite exploits a simple loophole in you...

Haha way to go! I once thought about writing a database with unlimited write-throughput scalability called /dev/null/db. Writing a value would simply write to /dev/null. Reading a key would return from /dev/random so if you distribute you can read and write without any coordination, being eventually consistent. But your project is way better :D

Gave me a good laugh :)
