    Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn’t give their domain names enough consideration:

    1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is
    www.whorepresents.com

    2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at
    www.expertsexchange.com

    3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
    www.penisland.net

    4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
    www.therapistfinder.com

    5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…
    www.powergenitalia.com

    6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
    www.molestationnursery.com

    7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always
    www.ipanywhere.com

    8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
    www.cummingfirst.com

    9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:
    www.speedofart.com

    10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at
    www.gotahoe.com

    Cute, but how do you find these?

    Maybe intentionally to get a lot of curiosity traffic.

    I did something similar. I went to my local government offices
    to register my new corporation. After all the fees paid and
    the documents stamped and sealed I looked at the top sheet and realized
    that the first letters of the three word corporation name
    spelled 'LIE"

    This list is quite funny, I have seen a similiar before ha ha
    Sometimes it is really hard to see that kind of thing when you come up with a name, because how you see/read it is another way.

    What a great list! Even some of my non-IM friends got a kick out of those.

    Funny thing is - I've actually been to that expertsexchange.com site looking up PHP info & I never even noticed that before (found it in SERPs, might have noticed if I typed out the URL myself.)
