When nothing means something

You know Lynndie England, the "leash girl" soldier who appears in so many of the Abu Gharib photos? Just for fun, I typed in www.lynndie.com to see what would happen. Try it.

What you get is a blank page, but you know it's not just a blank page, because the page title -- seen in the title bar of the window -- says "Lynndie England," her full name. So somebody snagged the domain name at some point. Let's see...

   Domain Name: LYNNDIE.COM

Registrar: GO DADDY SOFTWARE, INC.
Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com
Referral URL: http://registrar.godaddy.com
Name Server: NS7.EDNS1.COM
Name Server: NS8.EDNS1.COM
Status: ACTIVE
Updated Date: 06-may-2004
Creation Date: 06-may-2004

And http://www.godaddy.com/ turns out to just be a domain name farm. And proud of it.
