Get the information rapist mug.A cheesy, ebullient, woefully outdated term from the 90's, which means "Internet". Coined when all the people were massively wowed by the sheer awesomeness of the Intertubes. Nowadays in disuse unless you use it for comedy.
"With my brand new computer and the Internet, I have all the information I want within a single click of my mouse! If I want to find out how to look after a cat, I just have to type it in a search site, and WHAM! There it goes! How to buy a car? You can find it! Today's newspaper? You bet! Information for my daughter's chemistry paper? The Internet has it! Want to know about my son on student exchange in Norway? No problem! I just write him an e-mail, click "Send", and my letter travels all the way through the Atlantic and reaches him instantly and for free!"

Get the information superhighway mug.The great link between Business (or end process) and Computer Science
Involving the way information is gathered, processed, and used in a meaningful way.
Computer Science Majors – boast about how many lines of code they can write
Information Systems Majors – boast about how much money they have saved and created for overall business.
Business Majors – boast about their new sports car after high earnings and cut cost - dependent on the performance on their Information Systems which is dependent on Computer Science.
Information Systems creates logical use out of organizing and processing data through information technology.
IS makes CS useful
IS makes Business actually work (and increasingly so in the new Information Era)
Top IS programs: MIT and Carnegie Mellon
IS has yet to find a permanent home in the School of Computer Science, Business, Humanities
Professionals in IS who are really good at what they do are an asset to any company and are normally paid accordingly. Or can leave and find their place somewhere else (sometime creating their own business – usually successful)
IS professionals also have bigger hard drives than CS and Business professionals as well as cocks.

No dude, our Information Systems does that automatically now.
CFO: "we need to be able to process 9 million transactions integrated with EDI and have our production line update automatically while being able to offer real time analysis and GPS tracking as well as electronic invoicing. Oh, and if one thing does not work correctly (even if the correct way contradicts our business logic) YOU ARE FIRED"
CIO: "Okay"
