It's about time I posted another one of those…and this time, it's harder. Many of you were able to pick out the phony website when it was one out of five choices. How will you do if you have nine real websites and only one spurious one? Well, let's see. You have to pick six of them before you get an offer from The Banker to buy your case and…oh, wait. That's a different game. This is There's No Such Website!
[NOTE: The links below to the real websites point to real websites. A site may be down or it may be so flooded with hits because of my linkage that you can't get to it. That does not mean it's the phony website. The link below to the phony website goes to a page on my site that tells you you've selected the phony website.]
- The Museum of Coathangers – They hold your clothes. They mate in the closet when you're not looking. If you lock your keys in your car, you may even use one to get in. They're coathangers and someone has compiled a collection of their history.
- Egg-Coddlers.com – They hold your eggs for coddling purposes. They…well, they don't really do anything else but if you need to have an egg coddled, they're indispensable. Here's a website devoted to them.
- The Airsickness Bag Virtual Museum – Here's a collection that will make you sick. It's a gallery of those lovely bags they put in front of every seat in an airplane to remind you that it may not be a smooth ride.
- Things My Girl Friend and I Have Argued About – Mil Millington and his companion Margaret sure argue about a lot of interesting things. One wonders if they argue about him putting these topics on a website and in a book.

- I Hate Clowns – Do you hate clowns? Do you have nightmares about being surrounded by clowns? Then here's a website where you'll find people who feel the way you do. Includes online games where you get to punch and slap clowns.

- AsnerCam – Two years ago, actor Ed Asner walked into a luggage repair shop in Culver City, California operated by Phil Willson. He never picked up the suitcase he left there and ever since, Phil's had a web camera trained on the door awaiting the return of Lou Grant.
- Celebrities Yawning – Do celebrities bore you? Cause you to yawn? Well, here's a gallery of photos of famous people yawning. [CAUTION: Looking at this website may cause you to yawn.]

This time around, thank Tony Isabella, Mike Dow, Bill Stiteler and Edward Douglas for all the suggestions of fake-sounding websites that aren't fake.
