www.effoff.com -- The website of the Cincinatti, Ohio-based Effective Office Environments.
www.expertsexchange.com -- Geldman said Experts Exchange, a site for information technology professionals to share advice, changed its website to www.experts-exchange.com.
www.childrenslaughter.com -- The website for The Children's Laughter Foundation in Dallas, Texas.
www.google.co.ck -- The Google home page for the Cook Islands. Geldman said that the Cook Islands, which has the Internet country code co.ck, is a "source of slurls like no other." But Geldman said bawdier domain names involving "co.ck"suffix now get rejected.
www.penisland.net -- Custom pen company Pen Island's website.
