Our library's address, for example, is http//weirton.lib.wv.us   If you 
put the three W's in front of it it takes you to another library 
entirely. No one has figured out why!

And yes, in my experience the ""WWW" part is often referred to as "[the] 
three doubleyous".  The URL is usually "you are ell" or "Internet 
address". I don't think I've ever heard anyone in "meatspace" call it 
"Earl".  It actually looks to me more like "yourl" anyway.
