Not sure if this has been on here, but I got a chuckle out of it this morning.

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 yourselves!


1. "Who Represents" is where you can find the name of the agent that represents any celebrity. Their Web site is
www.whorepresents.com



2 . 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 Generating 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. The First Cumming Methodist Church Web site is
www.cummingfirst.com



9. And the designers at Speed of Art await you at their wacky Web site,
www.speedofart.com

Some of those don't seem to be actual links.

From Pen Island's "customize" link:

"Some people know exactly what they want in a custom Pen Island pen. Others aren't quite sure and may want to experiment a bit before they find the one that is right for them. Wild or mild, we can help you find the pen for you.
No request is too boring or too off-the-wall. Don't be ashamed if all you want is a normal skinny white pen, they get the job done and they are infact our biggest seller! Conversely, there is no reason to be shy about your Pen Island needs. We've done it all. Wrapped in leather, little pink bows, we've even done pens dipped in chocolate!
Your pen is our business. Contact us today."

Something tells me they don't really want to serve all my ink-based writing instrument needs.
