Guys, these are not short.
Short is 2 tokens:
athena.com
mit.edu
Not-short-but-almost (3 tokens), though maybe problematic
mit.edu/athena IT'S NOT TAKEN!!!!
athena.mit.edu ALSO NOT TAKEN
Anymore tokens is medium. Hopefully you could do better, but I suspect
not? 4 tokens:
mit.edu/athena/help
olh.mit.edu/dotfiles
Totally unreasonable is is 5 tokens:
debathena.mit.edu/help/dotfiles
So the challenge: Can you find a 3-token URL that you can use?
If not, a 4-teoken URL that people might remember, ideally with no token
more than one syllable? And with no token an obscure TLA like ``olh''?
