Back in the early days 94/95 people quite often used to type single word domains just to see what was out there.

This is back when you could fire up mosaic and read the what's new on the internet today :-)

I remember being on Tymnet and just trying addresses via a program to see if I found anything. Most interesting thing I found was a Fed Reserve address once (did not do anything with that).

I used to work for Tymnet the TEC in the UK :-)

People used to do that on the x.25 network to find interesting sites.
