Great Britain is a very strange country.

Great Britain is a very strange place. Just consider some of the location names you can find around here. I couldn't make this stuff up.

I remember having a discussion with (Mike)^2 a year ago during my first visit home from the UK. I pass a town called Maidenhead on the train between Oxford and London, and Mike pointed out mountains (I think it was mountains) called something like Greater Cockup and Lesser Cockup.

Tip of the hat to Justin Howell for sending along this blog entry that linked to the New York Times article above. (Also, I agree with the blogger that this is the: Best. New York Times. Article. Ever.)
