Bayesian Networks, by Melanie (Mama)

And here's the response from Melanie/Mama:
Almost 50 years ago the pioneers of Walt Disney World Resort envisioned a complex system of underground tunnels that would link all the different "kingdoms" yet to be developed. Because the land in central Florida is sodden, these tunnels needed to prevent humidity from damaging the sensitive electronic equipment that would connect these worlds. Hence the Bayesian Networks were created. Headquartered under the Seven Seas Lagoon, the tunnels were constructed of materials that were initially created by NASA for use in the space program. Yes, the same materials that protect astronauts in space from extreme temperatures also work deep within the earth. Bayesian Network technology has also been implemented in other places as well: the underground bunkers of Washington, D.C. and the often-denied storage facilities of Area 51 among them.
