What's in a name: Internet pornography sites may soon get a new suffix, “.xxx."

A few other suffixes under consideration:

“.qte”: Cute-cat-photo sites.

“.sap”: Sites that sell snake-oil remedies or get-rich-quick schemes.

Planet punch line: On this day in 1781, the seventh planet of the solar system, Uranus, was discovered by Sir William Herschel.

Interestingly, on this day in 1938 the first “Uranus” joke was made by an eighth- grader in Hackensack, N.J.
