All of these are legitimate companies that didn't spend quite enough time considering how their online names might appear ... and be misread. These are not made up. Check them out yourself! 1.

Experts Exchange is 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. There's the Italian Power Generator company, www.powergenitalia.com 6. And don't forget the Mole Station Native Nursery in New South Wales, www.molestationnursery.com 7. If you're looking for IP computer software, there's always www.ipanywhere.com 8.

And the designers at Speed of Art await you at their wacky Web site, www.speedofart.comwebsites > All of these are legitimate companies that didn't spend quite > enough time considering how their online names might appear ... and be [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > 3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at > www.penisland.net This one is only legit in the sense that they have a "sample pen" for sale. Otherwise, they are not a genuine company and they certainly have no range of pens for sale. Until recently they didn't even have samples - it was just a spoof website. Now they've obviously realised they can make money. Took me a while to see this - helped by a penguin in a froup not a million miles from here.

Actually they claim to have many pens for sale But it does seem to be a shady site, I trust nothing using PayPal. Penguin froups are always informative.

Check them out yourself! In addition to the ones listed, I once ran across (and reported here) a company promising "A New Start" at www.anustart.com...apparently the people who ran the company discovered the "anus tart" reading and have since relocated their website.... >Actually they claim to have many pens for sale > >But it does seem to be a shady site, I trust nothing using PayPal.

I want to know when he makes his move", said the Inspector, obliquely. > Ray O'Hara filted: >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > the people who ran the company discovered the "anus tart" reading and > have since relocated their website.... The power genitalia people also realised their error and relocated. (They can now be found at <http://www.batterychargerpowergen.it/indexinglese.html>.) The original URL now leads to an "under construction" dummy web page, which leads me to suspect that somebody else has bought the domain name, but hasn't yet decided what to use it for. SignaturePeter Moylan http://www.pmoylan.org Please note the changed e-mail and web addresses. The domain eepjm.newcastle.edu.au no longer exists, and I can no longer receive mail at my newcastle.edu.au addresses. The optusnet address could disappear at any time. >>> All of these are legitimate companies that didn't spend quite >>> enough time considering how their online names might appear ... and [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Actually they claim to have many pens for sale Try to buy one. In fact, try to find a description of one (other than the aforementioned samples) SignatureJohn Dean Oxford > All of these are legitimate companies that didn't spend quite > enough time considering how their online names might appear ... and be [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > 9.
