What is Slurls.com all about?
A slurl is a domain name (the first part of a web site address) that consists of two or more unspaced words ... sounds pretty boring so far, right?
Well, the twist is that because the words are not separated in any way, they can be read very differently to the way intended. All slurls are real websites with names chosen in good faith and genuine, clean purposes in mind.
Slurls are not always easy to spot - after all, the owner failed to spot their bad choice of domain name when they bought it. At Slurls.com I'll just give you the site's name and purpose - you'll have to figure out the Slurl yourself.
See what you make of these:
Pen Island, the best place to get custom made pens on the internet!

Therapist Finder, a California directory of mental health practitioners

who Represents...? A reference site for finding show business agents, or perhaps a place to get a gift for a very special friend

If you find a Slurl, just add a comment to any post and I'll put it on here for all to see - with full credit to you of course.
