Ha ha - like no ones ever clicked on something on the internet & found not quite what they expected ! usual procedure is blame your " mate " must have been using your computer & learn to delete browser history ! - but if you do go looking at potties the " squatty Potty " is much funnier & has unicorns in the advert ! though the Unicorn Gold advert beats it for laughs.

Back when Clinton was president, there was a site www.whitehouse.com that was, shall we say, adult-oriented. Many mistakenly chose this domain by default in lieu of Whitehouse.gov. Oddly, with Bill's philandering, seems either site was riddled with questionable content :D ;) :lol:

No, but that's a common explanation. I was informed of this professionally. Let's just leave it at that 8-)

I found that site myself, by accident, while on a government computer...

That browser was quickly closed...

I used to work in the marine industry for a Dutch company that manufactured propulsion equipment, bow thrusters, CP wheels, etc. The company was "Lips Propellers". Try googling Lips and see what you come up with! :lol: Lips is a pretty common Dutch surname.

Be careful with the C P abbreviation of anything, apparently is it commonly used in the child trafficking industry. Had a youtuber that I follow get shut down because he used it to abbreviate cross-plane crankshaft used in a Yamaha motorcycle engine. He eventually got his channel back up and the video restored, but they took little time is shutting everything down. I'll leave it to you guys to research exactly what the abbreviation is used for, I don't want to get associated with it through a search to show you.
