Yes, there is.  From the Seychelles.   (This sort of domain (mis)usage 
is also how experienced users know that the person is probably 
unfamiliar with DNS, too.  There are three domains reserved for 
examples and documentation (and obfuscation), as well as an IP address 
block.)  The .COM top-level domain is pretty full.   There's even the 
new .RIP top-level domain now available.  There'll undoubtedly be some 
entertaining domains registered in .RIP, for those that are willing to 
pay the fee.  But I digress.

What did you try searching on?  Date-manipulation and date-related 
questions have tended to be fairly common newsgroup fodder over the 
years.

Also and FWIW, you would need to search from 
<http://groups.google.com>, as the contents of the newsgroups are not 
included in the main Google search index, based on empirical evidence.  
And FWIW, I'd suggest using one of the available (free) news servers 
around, and avoid Google if for no other reason than their various web 
UI weirdnesses.   <http://www.eternal-september.org> is one example 
(free) news server service, and most operating systems do have news 
readers available.
