Via The Telegraph, news of a new book listing some of the URLs being used around the world where there should have been a little more thought given to the choice of name :

Experts Exchange – a site where programmers can trade advice – is found at www.expertsexchange.com

La Drape – a British company selling high-end quilted bedspreads – is listed at www.ladrape.co.uk

American Scrap Metal – a scrap metal recycling firm – has its website at www.angelfire.com/alt/americanscrapmetal

Speed of Art – a collective or art designers – are online at www.speedofart.com

Therapist Finder – a directory for therapy services – can be located at www.therapistfinder.com

One of the funnier ones I have read about in the past has unfortunately changed its name though :

Also included in the list is the Mole Station Nursery, a business in Australia selling gardening goods which adopted the web name “molestationnursery” before changing it to “molerivernursery”.

The author also seems to have a good idea of double entendre and its effective use :

Andy Geldman, author of Slurls: They Called Their Website What? said: “In a world without spaces we mentally insert out own. And you might not stick yours where I stick mine.”

Indeed.
