Did you know that if you type the address for Google.com incorrectly you may end up at a Google page set up for a foreign country?

I’m curious if anyone else has stumbled across this. Sometimes I type Google.cm by accident, leaving out the letter O, usually when I’m typing too fast. This sends me to Google Cameroun. I decided to try typing Google.(random letters) tonight to see what else I got. I typed Google.rs and got Russian Google. Is anyone else aware that you could do this and if so, did you discover it by accident, as I did or were you made aware of it by another means?
