    Sophie: I need two puppies!
    Mommy: Here’s one… two… three… four puppies!

    (later)

    Sophie: I need two puppies!
    Mommy: I just got you four puppies.  Take two out of those.
    Sophie: Noooo!

    I was researching a particular fact about DNS in Wikipedia, when I stumbled on this sentence:

    In the United States, the “Truth in Domain Names Act” (actually the “Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act”), in combination with the PROTECT Act, forbids the use of a misleading domain name with the intention of attracting people into viewing a visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct on the Internet.

    Those first two links look good, but I have a bad feeling about that last one.  It turns out to link merely to the article on “Internet pornography,” which contains an image at the top with the cutline (I swear I am not making this up), “An example of a pornographic website.”

    Anything in the name of research, I guess.
