OK, thought we’d better blog these (and YES, they all exist.)
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
Upcoming New Entries:
11. Looking for a company that can build huge skyskrapers and has a fluffy elephant as their mascot? Maybe http://www.mammotherection.com/ is the company for you?
Update Notes: We have been asked about the source of this list as we did not discover these ourselves – but we don’t know who did. We originally received this in an email many years ago with no author cited (happy to credit if we can confirm it). Although we again searched at time of posting in 06 we could not find a credible source. So beforehand, we fixed a few errors, checked all urls and created working links – unfortunatley some have since expired but we can confirm that they did exist.
Some great new suggestions in comments below! Thanks!

ZOMG! These are hysterical. You can’t tell me no one noticed what they were doing when they chose them. How blind would you have to be? LOL

Actually, if you take a look at Penisland.net , you can tell it was done quite intentionally. Quotes from the webpage include “we offer our pre-designed line of pens. Whether you’re looking for a long and skinny pen, a thick pen, a fountain pen that squirts ink, or even a black pen, we have just the one for you.” and “Your Pen Is. Our Business”

Wow. I’m surprised some of those weren’t already taken for their literal purposes.

Very funny! Found this via Twitter. The headline is a real how-to lesson for blogging. Got me in even though I had no plans to visit. Nice work! P.

I think its worthwhile to mention that the Registrar for Cook Islands (TLD “ck”) introduced second level domain names (like “co”) so you can get whatever.co.ck. Imagine the possibilities.

I’d only heard of a couple, that was great
January 16, 2009 at 2:13 pm |
Gee, how do you top some of those.

Absolutely superb post which will no doubt bring you a lot of deserved traffic.
January 18, 2009 at 6:11 am |
Hilarious! You’d think they’d actually look at the domains from all angles before buying – especially the church!
