                              A mutanous paradise
                                        
In general surfing I came across several sites for the island of Pitcairn,
[1] a small island in the south Pacific halfway between New Zealand and South
America and home to the descendants of mutineers from the HMS Bounty.

The island itself is approximately 1 km by 2 km, very rocky and mountainous
and other than a rather expensive Internet connection (some US$3.50/minute)
and inconsistent travel accomidations (you can get there only by sea, and
even then there's no regular route and even if you arrange for transportation
(at a typical price of $700 one way) if the weather or sea is too rough,
tough. No landing, do over again.

But you can register [8] A Pitcairn domain!
