too bad .twerks isn't an actual domain

We looked into this recently... you could start any TLD you want for only $185,000!

The Alaska purchase of domain space

Yeah, then if you get it, you also have to operate a registry, however much that costs, in terms of retail and maintaining a zone file, and pay $6000 a quarter plus .25 per domain for revenue over $50,000.
