In the real world, location can be everything. On the Internet, a website’s virtual location, its URL, can be just as important.

Then there are the ones that suck — those complete wastes of excellent domain names that take you to a blank page (or even worse, a dreaded advertising page). Here are some URLs that SHOULD be something. They just aren’t.
How could this site be a solid blog about lists without including the ultimate Rick Astley list. In case you are wondering (I know you are), here are the six things Rick Astley will NEVER do:

This is the stuff of a worthwhile world record, a moment highlighting the richness of human potential. Of course, as any quick study of the Maury studio audience will attest, that potential is rarely exercised by the masses.

I scoured the Internet tubes for an entire day just to assemble this collection of fantastic billboards. They are from all over the place, and it wasn’t until after I assembled them that I realized I didn’t keep track of where most originated (if anyone knew in the first place). So sorry about that.
Anyway, for Thursday the 13th here is a crop of 13 freshly prepared humorous, cool and witty billboards. (Hmmm… Humorous. Cool. Witty. Remind you of anyone?) So, enjoy the fruits of my cheap Greek-American labor. Oh, and Warning: This article is Not kid safe!
