I run a whois microsoft.com and I got back the interesting info shown below.
I tried from another of my FBSD boxes located half the world away and
got the same result. Neither internic.net nor who.godaddy.com show this
'interesting' data, they show the correct one.
The data seems to be coming from Verisign's whois servers....

Whois Server Version 1.3
Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
for detailed information.
MICROSOFT.COM.ZZZ.IS.0WNED.AND.HAX0RED.BY.SUB7.NET
MICROSOFT.COM.WILL.LIVE.FOREVER.BECOUSE.UNIXSUCKS.COM
MICROSOFT.COM.WILL.BE.SLAPPED.IN.THE.FACE.BY.MY.BLUE.VEINED.SPANNER.NET
MICROSOFT.COM.WILL.BE.BEATEN.WITH.MY.SPANNER.NET
MICROSOFT.COM.WAREZ.AT.TOPLIST.GULLI.COM

what gives?

These are just joke entries ... the owners
of the above 2nd level domains registered
DNS servers with the names shown, and
some "whois" services search for the entire
string instead of just the "end of it" ...
It's been around a long time---also, you're
not the only person to mention it. See:
http://www.arjunprabhu.com/blog/archives/2005/05/08/google-hacked/
I tried to register "google.com.is.preferred.by.our.users.at.daleco.biz"
quite some time ago, but apparently my registrar has machinery in
place to catch that, or else I just didn't do it right ....
