Here's a list of some funny URLs, where the designer didn't thinking about how people would read the name of the site:

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

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

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

4) Need a therapist?
http://www.therapistfinder.com

5) Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
http://www.molestationnursery.com

6) Gas central heating anyone?
http://www.gasheating.co.uk

7) New to Milan and you need electric light? Why not sign up on-line with
Power-Gen?
http://www.powergenitalia.com
 
Hahaha! Those were great. :D I'm sure L-B would like the power genitalia one in particular... ;)

Swedish has a particular perchance for creating such bizarre constellations as it is a normal function to add words together without hyphens to create new words. Sometimes with amusing side effects.

Such as when our nation's largest tobacco and snuff manufacturer introduced their own snuff fridges they had to hyphen the trademark "snuff-fridge", or else people would have easily misread the word as (roughly) "filthyhowl"... Heh.

I think it's a Brit-thing where 'gash' is slang for female genitalia.

Edit: Gah. I've got to remember hitting reply, and if I forget it at least check if someone have already responded in the meantime.
