Dear Peggy May, Really Stupid Web Addresses - All of these are legitimate companies that didn't spend quite enough time considering how their online names might appear...and be misread. 1. Who Represents is where you can find the name of the agent that 2. Experts Exchange is a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at www.expertsexchange.com. 3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at www.penisland.net. 4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at www.therapistfinder.com. 5. There's the Italian Power Generator company: www.powergenitalia.com. 6. And don't forget the Mole Station Native Nursery in New South Wales: 7. If you're looking for IP computer software, there's always: 8. The First Cumming Methodist Church Web site is: 9. And the designers at Speed of Art await you at their wacky web site: These are all legit! (Except number six...they got wise!) Chris Rock's "Quote of the Year": It's a funny old game! - Some footballers will do anything for a break! Spainish keeper Santiago Canizares was ruled out of the 2002 World Cup finals after a bottle of aftershave dropped on his foot causing cuts and serious tendon damage. Arsenal's Perry Groves was on the bench, when Arsenal scored he jumped up to celebrate only to hit his head on the roof of the dug-out knocking himself out! Norwegian defender Svein Grondalen withdrew from an International after an accident while he was out jogging. He collided with a moose. David Seaman once broke a bone reaching for his TV remote. Brazilian star Ramalho was in bed for three days after swallowing a suppository intended to treat a dental infection. Milan Rapaic once missed the start of Hajduk Split's season after sticking his boarding-pass in his eye at the airport. In 1993 keeper Dave Beasant was kept out by a foot injury caused by a falling jar of salad cream. Yes, he fumbled it, and because his hands were full he stuck out a foot to stop it hitting the floor! Barnsley's Darren Barnard slipped in a puddle of his new puppy's pee on the kitchen floor. The resulting knee ligament damage kept him out of action for five months. Irish International Robbie Keane ruptured his knee cartilage in 1998 after stretching to pick up his TV remote control. Steve Morrow broke his collarbone after falling off Tony Adams while celebrating the 1993 League Cup final win. David Batty's return from an Achilles tendon injury was put back when he was run over by his toddler on a tricycle. Lee Hodges slipped on a bar of soap in the shower, wrenching his groin. Allan Nielsen of Spurs missed several matches after his daughter poked him in the eye. Male or Female? - You might not have known this, but a lot of non-living objects are actually either male or female: FREEZER BAGS: They are male, because they hold everything in, but you can see right through them. PHOTOCOPIERS: Female, because once turned off; it takes a while to warm them up again. They are an effective reproductive device if the right buttons are pushed, but can also wreak havoc if you push the wrong Buttons. TYRES: Male, because they go bald easily and are often over inflated. WEB PAGES: Female, because they're constantly being looked at and frequently getting hit on. TRAINS: Definitely male, because they always use the same old lines for picking up people. HAMMERS: Male, because in the last 5000 years, they've hardly changed at all, and are occasionally handy to have around. THE REMOTE CONTROL: Female. Ha! You probably thought it would be male, but consider this: It easily gives a man pleasure, he'd be lost without it, and while he doesn't always know which buttons to push, he just keeps trying.
