Teh Market
There’s a market on El Camino in Mountain View called “Teh Market”. I haven’t been inside yet, but it sounds like an invitation for a bad Abbott and Costello instant messaging conversation:
abbott2718: teh market has a great deal on beef jerky
costello314: which market?
abbott2718: teh market
costello314: the market?
abbott2718: obviously it’s a market
costello314: what’s the name of the market?
abbott2718: teh market
costello314: that’s what i want to know
abbott2718: what’s what you want to know?
costello314: the name of the market.
abbott2718: teh market.
costello314: why do you keep making typos in the?
abbott2718: in the what?

heh. i like the numbers that you added to the usernames. 314 used to be my default until that was too popular, and then I switched to 2718 for a while.

Typos are big business! My parents once entered a financial transaction with a guy who worked at a company called Micosoft… needless to say, we got ripped off.
Then there’s this guy who made $300M off of typos (got to envy/hate the side story of the Fremont (!) programmer who wrote a domain squatter program and cashed out to the tune of $168M)

I’ve decided that my claim to fame will be to start the next ‘Intrenet’ (pronounced Internet).
