A man bought GOOGLE.COM yesterday for $12USD
True story:
Bored and looking to make an extra buck, a former Google employee was fortunate enough to purchase the Google.com domain for just $12 – and actually managed to get control of it for about 60 seconds before the company realized it was a mistake.
The main domain of the search engine giant, whose market capitalization last year equaled almost $395 billion, was briefly bought by Sanmay Ved, who was casually browsing Google’s website-buying service, when he noticed that one of the world’s most visited domains was available for purchase.

A guy like that would probably be happy with sloppychops. com for $1

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
