The Best DOMAIN NAMES of the Web

What'll you find at rum.com, van.com, war.com or cat.com? A more-fun-than-most web quiz from the Mental Flossers about some of the best domain names and who owns them.

Okay, not as much fun as penisland.net and the like, but I found it interesting, but then I am an admitted domain name addict. Hey, I even kinda like the What's Your Name.com blog, via Projects.

10/15. Not bad, considering I guessed all the way through.

Very disappointed that cunt.com is just a standard adult website. When I applied for the domain, back in the early 90's, I wanted to use it to host photographs of my enemies. Ah well. I await the inevitable accusation of domain hi-jacking from Eve Ensler. "What do you mean, can I show trademark registration papers? I wrote the freaking Vagina Monologues, every cunt out there should be paying me a royalty for Christ's sake."

(QUIZ SPOILER) I think Smokey may be getting that domain back any day now...

I got 4/15, guessing all the way, and now wonder just how valuable those domain names actually are. I mean, who has ever really been like, " I'm so hungry and I don't know what to do! This is getting serious!" /Taps foot. /cries a little /lightbulb above head /types food.com, hits enter "I sure hope this works..."

You are not alone as a domain name addict. My ex-flatmate owns youfuckingcunt.com, only so he can have the email address: whatareyoulooking@youfuckingcunt.com Slight derail: how is work on drinksyourmilkshake.com going?

roofus, don't ask. also, I got 10 out of 15 (66.7%)... the average score is about 56% or slightly better than random guessing. Which was one of the reasons I like this quiz... because it's so irrelevant.

The guys over at the Stern Bears club must be sweating up their assless chaps in anticipation of nabbing that domain!

Actually, see, that's the nice thing about chaps. The parts that would get sweaty are all ventilated.

Ah. There's hope for me yet. I did not get 100%. I may just have a life after all.

I knew the guy who had boatersexchange.com . Then some more established company in Florida paid him for it -- he was glad to be rid of it.
