Kind of like the guy a couple years back here in California whose personalized license plate read "NOPLATE".

He ran up some insane quantity of parking tickets because all of the ticketed cars without license plates were getting charged to him.
Here's the whole story: http://www.snopes.com/autos/law/noplate.asp

Several years ago, before the original owner sold the domain, they were offering free email addresses. I wanted a throw-away address, so out of curiosity, I signed up for, and got :NoSpam (at) BiteMe.com .. The mailbox would literally fill up over night! I had that address for about a year, then the new owners deleted all the freebees and I lost it..

In movies and TV shows, they use a 555 prefix in a telephone number as they are bogus and intended for such things.

On the internet example.com, example.net. and example.org are bogus and intended for use in examples, tutorials, etc.
Check it out http://example.com/

Unfortunately, many people don't know this and use things like:

John @ YourEmail . com
Me @ MyEmail .com
You @ YourAddress . com

But those just happen to all be REAL domains and email addresses. DOH!

at the UPS Store they get mail for people with names like "Kiss Myass" and worse.
So why do people use that for a fake name, but then use their real address??
