I got a message from an email address at a0l.com. At first I thought it was a typo or a fake, but my reply didn’t bounce, so I knew the domain was valid.

That sparked my curiosity about other domains with 0’s instead of O’s. I checked g00gle.com but it was blank, so I used whois and discovered that Google had registered it. However, unlike other alternate domains like gooogle.com, they don’t forward this one to the real site. It’s a conspiracy I tell you, a conspiracy. They’re probably using invisible HTML and now that I’ve stumbled upon the secret Google is going to be upset. If I don’t make any more posts after this one, you’ll know why.
