There's been much hooting and sniggering in the last couple of days following
reports of the curiously-named "powergenitalia.com".
So has someone at the giant energy company's Italian division messed up by
registering this Web site? It seems not.
A spokesman for PowerGen told us: "This site has nothing to do with us at all.
We don't even have an Italian division."
Ah well, funny all the same.

Off topic, I know. I just couldn't resist.
