Zen 68: Tom's Sex Change

People really don't think about their URLs. Take this one. What's the first thing you see? Thomas Exchange, or does the word SEX CHANGE leap out at you like a rabid lion scenting blood?

It's sex change of course, but that's probably because I just primed you to see it. But then you'd have seen it anyway. Or maybe not. Maybe it's me. Whatever.

Here are some other funny(ish) - and genuine - URLs:

whorepresents.com - celebrity agent finder
therapistfinder.com - find a therapist
gotahoe.com - go to Lake Tahoe!

And here are the bogus ones, as seen on QI:

penisland.com - not an online pen shop, but is now a gay porn site
powergenitalia.com - Powergen doesn't trade as Powergen in Italy
speedofart.com - now belongs to some bloke who is not an artist
expertsexchange.com - no experts, or exchanges
www.ipanywhere.com - not an IP, not here or anywhere
