What's the Story Here?

Why the heck does mammals.org go to Apple's web site? Thanks for my cousin Pat for pointing that out.

See, I looked at the whois, too, and noticed the nameservers. Would the domain resolve if the nameservers didn't respond to it? While they may not own it, it's on their nameservers.

Hhmmmmm...

Is an iPhone on the way? Maybe an iMammal too? :)
