I mentioned earlier that I got hold of the list of all 107 million dot-com domain names. It’s a pretty fun corpus to crunch for hilarious accidents of fate.

Some unfortunate misparsings:

• Lap To Piss Low
• What Doe Snot Kill Me
• Yell Ow Pages
• Butt Hats Not All
• Ski Town Snot Ice
• Anus Ham Dance Group
• Push Butt On Recruiter
• A Mom Shaven
• Fart Olive
• Veteran Scab Association
• Me No Fart
• A Damp Ass Water
• Pain Turd Ream
• Whore Members Me
• Hot Elf Or Tuna
• Pus Hit
• I Anus Arts
• Hot Elf Light Scars
• Hot Butt On Press
• Anus Elf
• Fart Own Insurance

Try telling a friend to go to the U.S. Department of Transport website, www.dot.gov. It’s like “Who’s On First” for the new millenium.

My favourite subcategory is Accidental Hitlers. There aren’t many of these — mostly Turkish websites — but the best I was able to find is a typosquatter who registered “whitlerblackcomb.com” — in case someone is booking a Third Reich ski getaway?
