[jcgarcia@minion jcgarcia]$ host milfclan.com
milfclan.com has address 216.239.57.99

But a lookup on google.com shows the following:

[jcgarcia@minion jcgarcia]$ host google.com
google.com has address 216.239.39.99
google.com has address 216.239.37.99
google.com has address 216.239.57.99

So why does google own milfclan?
