Carbonated Milk

Brought to you by Salon.com writer Heather Cochran in "I come to bury IAmCarbonatedMilk.com, not to praise it." The article is about Internet domain names that were registered but later allowed to expire. Apparently, someone actually did register IAmCarbonatedMilk.com once upon a time, but for whatever reason did not build a thriving e-business on the site.

Click here http://www.salon.com/tech/feature/2002/08/03/deleteddomains/index.html to read the story, which contains several "best of the best" examples of defunct URLs — like MyPetFishLikesToastedKiwis.com and IHateAndrewSalkeldTheFatUglyGreasyStarTrekLovingWanker.com. Shoot, if I'd been thinking of it, I could have registered PaulLarsonIsALyingCheatingFinanciallyIrresponsibleTroutFarmerWhoseGuitarPlayingAintThatGreat.com. Well, maybe there's still time.
