  • David Thorne is an Australian humorist, satirist, internet personality and author. Thorne became an internet sensation in the late 2000s when he received massive attention for one of his stories, in which he tells a tale of a prankster who tries to pay his chiropractor's bill with a drawing of a seven-legged spider. The vehicle for the story spread via email and shortly after people were flocking to his website 27b/6 (27bslash6). His website is a collection of various humorous stories and accounts from Thorne's own life. Thorne is also a self-published author, both writing and distributing the book titled The Internet is a Playground (2009) which is the complete collection of articles and emails from the 27bslash6 website including some articles too legally problematic to be on the website. Thorne, who hails from Adelaide, South Australia, says that he has been a long-time fan of other online satirists like Ross Amorelli, Mil Millington and George Ouzounian (better known as Maddox), stating that they have all been a "constant source of amusement over the last few years. " Much of Thorne's humor is autobiographical and self-deprecating, often concerning his immediate family and work associates.
