Why Do They Want My Email Address Twice?

I can understand typing passwords twice, but...

I've seen a lot of website registration forms that requires me to type my email address twice:

Email Address (required):
Retype Email Address (required):

Why is this? Who invented this practice? Does it work (for whatever reason it is invented for)?

Are you annoyed by this practice? I am.

Have you designed such a registration form yourself? Why did you decide to do it? (Not counting "Everybody was doing it?")
