Here at Haighteration, we sometimes investigate an angle that's a little bit strange, just because we're curious. This time, we got curious about the wifi networks we've seen about town. So we took a little walk to see what our local wifi networks might say about you, our neighbors.

Turns out, they give us a little insight into where your collective minds go when you let your subconsciouses pitch in on the abstract task of naming a network. There are hundreds of networks out here, but here's a quick sampling:
1. Anaconda Malt Liquor 2. Diamond Club 3. gorgeousandyoung 4. Space Case 5. Bitches Upstairs 6. Kiwi Time 7. Moon Tower
8. ladieslounge 9. Frolic & Detour 10. Cheese & Crackers 11. Rabbit Hole
12. Thistle 13. GreatScott 14. Thunderdome 15. Cylon Base Station 16. cellotransducer 17. HouseofAss
18. Bad Horse 19. Googirls 20. Maneaters 21. Neon Jesus Nightlife
22. Tits McGee 23. PurpleBird 24. Moon Safari 25. Mr. Snuffleupagus 26. Honey Badger 27. Shark Farts

28. Math is Power 29. Muffins 30. SilverFish


31. Mothership 32. Who is the cat? 33. LuckyPine 34. jellies 35. they are monitoring us
Makes you wonder who your neighbors are, and what strange dreams they dream.  (And yeah, #35, you're the only one that saw us coming.)
