Here's a function that determines whether or not you have an internet
connection. It's almost as reliable as some of the other examples
given - I know this, because I tried it ten times, and it gave the
correct result every time!

def has_internet():
    return True

Tell me, is it useful to have something that doesn't always give the
right answer, even if it usually does? Is there any value whatsoever
in a lie?
