Eager to make full use of my new computer's capabilities, I asked a customer-service representative at my bank whether it offered on-line banking.

What was I Thinking?

All of these are legitimate companies dealing in regular products and services, but they (obviously) didn't think their domain names through.



Some of them are prime candidates for the "What was I thinking?" Award....



ALL these websites actually exist, selling something totally benign (and work-safe, in case you're wondering).

1. A site called 'Who Represents' where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name 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. We have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales: www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you're looking for IP computer software, there's always: www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church and their website: www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then of course, there's these brainless art designers at Speed of Art and their whacky website: www.speedofart.com

10. Want to go on holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at: www.gotahoe.com
