Wait, We Didn't Mean It That Way...

The funny thing about creating Web domain names is that sometimes, when you have to combine an entire company name into one word, it makes another word that may mean something completely different. (Actually, this probably predates the Web. I remember in high school when we sold magazines and there was this skiing magazine called "Snotrack." While it was pronounced SNOW-track, we all giggled sophomorically--yes, we were sophomores--upon seeing the name, because it looked like it should be pronounced SNOT-rack.)

At any rate, I saw the greatest one today on the side of a truck. The company--a landscape firm, I think--is called Landpro Creations, and their website, "landprocreations.com", could also be read as "Land Procreations" (sounds like a new twist on the old Beatles song: "Why don't we do it in the...dirt?"). Heh heh. I wonder how long it'll take them to discover their unintentional comedy?

Seen anything else like that? Feel free to chime in...
