Internet Mysteries
Three years ago I was, well, tired and randomly typed into the web browser tired.com. I am sure a great deal of people have been there, its just one of those domains. I was intrigued by the possibility to email why I was tired (at that point it was probably because I was on my feet most of the day in a lab that had one chair), but at the same time wary of spam and to whom the email was going. Tonight I finally persued the story behind the website through creative use of whois and google. I leaned of Michael Kuniavsky who apparently established the website as a social experiment (to what and for what end I wasnt really able to discern). But it got me thinking of how many people he probably made smile by his simple website, and how while I am exhausted now my pursuit of the story behind the website entertained me for a moment.
At the same time I was wondering if anyone else has stumbled upon a website that was bizarre enough to stick out in their mind and pursued the back story of the website.
So guys, any stories?

thanks for nothing
Even a random "angrybadger.com" worked. There was a real web site when I first tried it (related to Dungeons and Dragons), but as of today, it looks like the domain name is simply parked.
Is it just an email-address harvesting affair? Or a crap joke? It looks as if it should be really interesting.

I remember trying all sorts of random domain names once a few years ago and being amazed at how much bizarre stuff was already either parked, or had an actual web site.

You're right!
