Odd URLs

Submitted by Jacob Redding on Wed, 2008-04-16 19:30.

Ok so here's an odd one. Today I was writing a module that checks link module URLs for valid links (i.e. not 404s). In order to test that my module was working correctly I entered this as a URL

http://pinkypinkypinkybraincrainornot.com

It was random gibberish that my hand simply typed out.

My link checker went through the paces and it kept telling me that the above URL was valid so I went through my code over and over again to see what was wrong. Apparently nothing was wrong the above URL really is valid. At least it is in China.....

I'm filing that URL under odd....
