Perils of URLs

An email this morning from TEDster Julian Treasure gave me huge pleasure. Unbelievably, these are all real sites.
------------
A few salutary examples that should make us all think twice...

Firstly there is Who Represents?, a database for agencies to the rich and famous:  http://www.whorepresents.com

Second is the Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views:  http://www.expertsexchange.com

Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island:  http://www.penisland.net

Need a therapist? Try:  http://www.therapistfinder.com

And there is an Italian Power company:  http://www.powergenitalia.com

Finally we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:  http://www.molestationnursery.com

I read the url (http://www.whorepresents.com) and read it as "whore presents" (not "who represents"). given it is about talent agencies, maybe my reading was a bit accurate?

Er, Rich, that's the whole point of the post... they're all screwed up names.
