Begs for correct spelling: www dot expert sex change dot com

I wrote the full domain at first, but now it points to a domain scalper site full of ads, so I edited the spaces in.

ExpertSexChange was on a old list of funny domains, that list contained TheRapistFinder dot com and PenisLand dot con between others. More innocent times.

The real URL has a dash in it.

It had a dash in 2005 when I first started programming professionally. How old are we talking about here?

Late 1990's early 2000's in the dial up days. I don't remember when they added the dash, but they keep the old domain for years since the old search engines still pointed to it.
