Me! It’s wierd how the john and b keys are all the same.

I got one recently from somebody who acquired the dropped domain dispelrhys.co.uk. I shudder to think who was going to use it and what for :S

The only way a person can type bcow instead of johncow is when he is too busy with his BJ. :lol:

My Advice: If they are mis-spelling the url like that than they deserve to be taken to the wrong page.

Is he really a typo squatter when he spells “john” “b”? :???: If he spelled “john” like “jhon” or somethning else similar, then yes, but now I don’t think so :D

Oh, I get confused ALL the time… but it’s when my hand dances over the ‘c’ and ‘h’ keys… if my fingers are too fast, I end up killing Pandas instead… If not, then I end up with Cows.
