- mahmud 18y agoTokelau Island and Chirstmas Island are huge too; they gave us .tk and .cx respectively. Actually, never mind, Christmas Island might have ruined Christmas for me :-(
- sketerpot 18y agoThe great purpose of Tokelau Island is to make sure that if you type "tcl.tk" into your address bar, you will get a web site about Tcl/Tk programming.

"If you not strong, oh, you gonna die." Something tells me that fisherman is missing out on all the domain name action.
