Google god of a thousand names
Google owns more names than an Eastern god, website monitoring service Pingdom has discovered. It found thousands of Google-owned names in the .com domain alone. Many of them are clearly designed to foil typosquatters who garner hits from misspelled addreseses. Some hint at future services: google4kids.com, googlebackups.com,googleauction.com, googlebroadband.com, googlecasinogames.com, googlefamily.com, googlejokes.com, googlelovers.com, googlepersonals.com, googlereligion.com, googlefaith.com, googlegym.com, googledaycare.com, bankgoogle.com, googlepaperproducts.com
Other names make you wonder what is going on: googlesex.com, googleporn.com, google-yahoo-porn.com,. google-yahoo-sex.com, googlewarez.com.
And some are simply baffling: 1p0g0og1e.com, az-on-url-je.com, goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogle.com
A Pingdom blog observes that many of the names have probably been registered to protect the brand. 'Lawyers have surely been keeping busy reclaiming lots of Google-related domain names over the years.'

A bakeneko will haunt any household it is kept in, creating ghostly fireballs, menacing sleepers, walking on its hind legs, changing its shape into that of a human, and even devouring its own mistress in order to shapeshift and take her place. When it is finally killed, its body may be as much as five feet in length. It also poses a danger if allowed into a room with a fresh corpse; a cat is believed to be capable of reanimating a body by jumping over it..

The Samadhi of Ranjit Singh is the mausoleum of the Sikh ruler Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Located in Lahore, Pakistan, near the Lahore Fort and Badshahi Mosque, the mausoleum was begun by his son Kharak Singh on the spot where he was cremated, and was completed by Dalip Singh in 1848. The tomb is a splendid example of Sikh architecture, with gilded fluted domes and cupolas and an ornate balustrade round the top. Ranjit Singh's ashes are contained in a marble urn in the shape of a lotus, sheltered under a marble pavilion inlaid with pietra dura, in the centre of the tomb. Other tiny urns contain the ashes of his four wives and seven concubines who threw themselves on his funeral pyre. These urns were removed from the marble pavilion and were replaced by a simple slab around 1999. This desecration of the mausoleum was part of the preparations for the Khalsa Tricentenary and the visit of Sikh dignitaries from India.The Samadhi was damaged by the earthquake in October 2005.
