So I have a strange sense of humour...

But I was rather amused that the UK's Department of Health website URL is www.DOH.gov.uk, although they are quick to stress that they are not the same thing as the NHS (National Health Service)...

good innit

speaking as a britGov web-techie for a different department, whenever we need to look something up on it or talk to one of the guys responsible we call it Homer:

GariCollegue: "Damn! I'm getting the X error on the bloody web-server again! how did we fix that last time??"

Garius: "I'll be buggered if i can remember - Give Joe a shout over at Health - they had the same problem on Homer."
