No, not moron domain names... ;)
For those who find statistics interesting (okay, I do), check out Dennis Forbes' post on The Search for a Domain Name.
He's studied stats for registered .com domain names and discovered that all 2- and 3- letter combinations are taken as are nearly 80% of all 4-letter combos. And, the 5-letter ones are starting to fill up. So, don't expect to miraculously find a very short acronym type domain name, at least not of the .com variety. You might get lucky with a 4-5 letter one.
Mostly it's just a fun read and might give you some good trivia to share with your friends. For example, did you know that the most common beginning letter for domain names is... S?
Okay, maybe this guy has too much time on his hands! :)
