Apologies for the somewhat low-brow humor, but I laughed my tush off at this. (Did I really just apologize for low-brow humor on the internet?!?)

So, I’m reading the wikipedia entry for internet domain names, when I encounter this gem:

“Intercapping is often used to clarify the meaning of a domain name. However, DNS is case-insensitive, and some names may be misinterpreted when converted to lowercase. For example: Who Represents, a database of artists and agents, chose whorepresents.com; a therapists’ network thought therapistfinder.com looked good; and another website operating as of August 2007, cummingfirst.com, website of the Cumming First United Church in Cumming, GA and powergenitalia.com, a website for an Italian Power Generator company. In such situations, the proper wording can be clarified by use of hyphens. For instance, Experts Exchange, the programmers’ site, for a long time used expertsexchange.com, but ultimately changed the name to experts-exchange.com.”

That’s awesome. Now my sides hurt.

I checked and some of those sites still persist. My favorite is whorepresents.com. After all, everyone like to receive a gift. Why should whores be left out?
