This started like 10+ years ago when the internetz was already a vast medium.
I worked as a sysadmin and sometimes out of irritation or boredom I started browsing the internetz just by guessing domain names or deliberately misspelling.
I did that mostly at night when none was around to see how busy I was earning my money Embarassed
And if I was asked why I needed to work at night I came up with (quite often) a valid excuse about having to do some maintenance.
Yep I am afraid I really showed some signs of the BOFH, google that if unknown Very Happy

Back then these were funny:
whitehouse.com or .org - porn sites
hell.com - weird stuff, can't remember well
ihatebill.com - allowed you to leave a hateful remark about any Bill you knew

A typo-site I can remember:
amazom.com - book store site that lived by the grace of mistyping, it redirects now

Old habits die hard so today I tried: yourtube.com
Ehm right an unofficial site for the London Underground Neutral

yourtubes.com:

Rolling Eyes BOOORING

I guess that I am bored to hell that I write this story, lets hit submit and be done with it Sad

I read about this site somewhere and found it useful. Similar vein to what iconized is on about, just slightly different.

Unsure if it's useful for anyone else but for Swedes these provide a quick laugh.
