The Techknowledgy Blog posted this side-splitter on domain names, and the care that must be given in reconciling the plain-English name with the domain name when organizing a web site:

Speedofart.com anyone? How about Penisland.net? These are but a few of the unintentional bad domain names floating around out there these days. We've all heard horror stories about some company painstakingly picking the perfect name for a product, only to find out that the term they so carefully chose actually means "goat boogers" in many of the countries where they intend to market their wares. Well, a similar thing can happen with domain names. Consider the first two listed, which are legitimate sites for Speed of Art and Pen Island respectively. There are more.

Consider a site called "Who Represents" where you can find out who Tom Cruise's agent is: www.whorepresents.com (its his sister). Or you can visit www.therapistfinder.com if you are looking for a good - get this - therapist (what were you thinking!). Believe it or not, www.molestationnursery.com will take you to the site of Mole Station Native Nursery from Australia. My kids got a kick out of www.ipanywhere.com . . . Finally, if you're planning for a holiday at the lake, you will definitely want to visit www.gotahoe.com.
