Der Server, auf dem seine Website 27bslash6.com lag, brach aufgrund der vielen Zugriffe zusammen.

Published by Penguin Group and released on 28 April 2011, the book debuted at number four on the New York Times Best Seller list. Thorne says that he has been a long-time fan of satirists such as Ross Amorelli, Mil Millington, Chris Lilley, and Shaun Micallef, stating that they have all been a "constant source of amusement over the last few years". Much of Thorne's humour is biographical, often concerning his immediate family and work associates. (en)
  • David Thorne est un humoriste, satiriste, designer graphique, personnalité du web et écrivain australien, né en 1972. Il s'est fait connaître du grand public à la fin de l'année 2008 pour un échange d'e-mails avec sa banquière dans lequel il essayait de payer son découvert avec le dessin d'une araignée à 7 pattes. Cet échange amena rapidement un grand nombre de personnes sur son site 27b/6, sur lequel figure un certain nombre d'échanges d'e-mails ainsi que des articles sur sa vie personnelle. Ceux-ci, ainsi que des extras, figurent dans le livre qu'il a publié en 2009, The Internet Is A Playground. Thorne, qui vit actuellement aux États-Unis, se présente comme un grand fan de satiristes du web tels que Ross Amorelli, Mil Millington et George Ouzounian (mieux connu sous le nom de Maddox), déclarant qu'ils ont tous été une « source constante d'amusement au cours des dernières années ». L'humour de Thorne est principalement autobiographique, concernant le plus souvent sa famille (et en particulier son fils) ou ses collègues de travail. (fr)
  • David Thorne es un humorista australiano, personalidad de Internet y autor en la lista de superventas de The New York Times.​ (es)
  • David Thorne é um humorista, satirista, designer gráfico e escritor australiano. Tornou-se conhecido na internet em 2008 devido a uma troca de e-mails onde tenta pagar uma conta vencida com o desenho de uma aranha de sete pernas. As mensagens foram amplamente reproduzidas em redes sociais e através de correntes de e-mail, levando a uma explosão de visitas em seu website, 27b/6. A página apresenta uma coleção humorística de artigos e e-mails sobre a própria vida de Thorne, que em 2009 acabaram reunidas no livro The Internet is a Playground. O desenho da aranha em si tornou-se tão popular que foi à leilão no eBay, onde recebeu um lance de 10,000 dólares. O usuário que fez a oferta retirou-a posteriormente, alegando que nunca teve intenção de pagar. O e-mail da aranha foi apresentado em diversos programas de televisão e rádio, como Have I Got News for You da BBC no Reino Unido e Late Show with David Letterman nos Estados Unidos. Um artigo com detalhes sobre a mensagem foi votada a notícia mais popular da Austrália em 2008, onde recebeu cinco vezes mais acessos do que qualquer outra notícia daquele ano. Thorne, que vive atualmente em Adelaide, Austrália Meridional, declarou ser um grande fã de outros satiristas do mundo virtual, como George Ouzounian (mais conhecido como Maddox), Ross Amorelli e Mil Millington, afirmando que todos eles foram uma "fonte constante de divertimento nos últimos anos". Uma parcela significante do humor de Thorne é autodepreciativa e diz respeito com frequência a sua família e parceiros de trabalho. (pt)
