The Steampunk World

Being the continued explorations of a living steampunk.

The steampunk world is all around us, lying just out of sight, in a continuous thread of steampunk builders and culture that extends from the Victorian era to the present. You'll find no science fiction here: This is real life steampunk.

World Wide Waste of time


I was heading to Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle but added another 'o'. Lo, the site was registered by Yahoo! I decided to see how far they'd taken it.



www.yahooo.com is an error page owned by Yahoo. Why this doesn't just mirror their homepage, I have no idea.



www.yahoooo.com was 'recently registered' at register.com. Hmmm.


www.yahooooo.com bounces you to some stupid page.


www.yahoooooo.com is another error page owned by Yahoo. They must have realized at some point that people were snatching up the extra o's and gotten the available ones.


www.yahooooooo.com is 'under construction', and it says so in many languages.


www.yahoooooooo.com through www.yahooooooooooooooo.com are duds.


www.yahoooooooooooooooo.com is owned by Go Daddy. What a waste of $12.


So is www.yahooooooooooooooooo.com, www.yahoooooooooooooooooo.com, and www.yahooooooooooooooooooo.com.


There's another dud at www.yahooooooooooooooooooo.com, then back to Go Daddy for every address up to www.yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.com! Who is sitting there registering these domains!?! Somebody as bored as me, I guess.


But after that, it seems to be up for grabs! Hurry, before it's too late!
