Reminds me about a big site in (www.bilddagboken.se)
Its a site where people can register and post pictureblogs. If I register as ryan the adress to my page would be ryan.bilddagboken.se.
After YEARS of running the place (around 800.000 users) someone registered the username "www". This resulted in all visitors that typed www.bilddagboken.se (or used a bookmark) was directly redirected to the user "www" page. His/Hers page had thousandths of angry comments accusing him/her of hacking bilddagboken.se
Every once in a while, signing into Twitter I get redirected to 'twitter.com/sessions' and instead of it handling my log in, it's an actual Twitter account which is inactive. Pretty odd. I think they finally fixed it...

On the old Twitter, if you had Javascript disabled, clicking "sign out" took you to the Twitter profile of @sign_out (or similar, can't remember).

I think people had similar fun when Facebook introduced user names. Didn't someone register the user name "index.html"?
No. It was default.asp.
