There is a town in Scotland called Dull.
Care to guess where it's twinned with? Google Maps[^]

They should make a triple with this place: Langweiler[^]
I leave it to you to translate the name.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I thought all German cities were named "Ausfahrt" - That's what it says on the signs on the highway at least...

But you don't think that all bigger streets in Ausfahrt are named 'Stop'?

Is that town paired perhaps with Phuket in Thailand?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Or Spread Eagle in Wisconsin? Either way I hope they're using Protection...Kansas.

Slightly NSFW and NKSS (if you're prude at least), but it made me think of THIS[^] gem!

And on the map you see that it is between Blue Ball and Paradise. And I have a hat with that comment.

It's called that because of all the important road junctions -- it's an intersectional Intercourse.

This town[^] should be just down the road from yours.

I wonder why was a place with such beautiful landscapes named Dull. 
I just looked up Boring, Oregon and that looks quite good too.

Yeah.. the exit sign off I5 reads "Boring Oregon City"
I've been through Boring.. at least, I think I was.. I took that exit, and drove down the road until I passed through an area that had the Boring Grocery store along with a few other Boring businesses. Yawn
At least they seem to have a sense of humor about it. Seriously though, looks like a nice little town. Seems to be your average one-horse town, except this one has a conversation piece to spice things up.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

There was a small paperback called something like "Far from Dull" I saw a few years ago. Full of photos of british road signs to weirdly named places. The front cover pic was a better framed version of this[^]

A cowboy placed a sharp blade on the back of a horse who then immediately leaped to get it off.
Now you know why it's called a buck knife.

Hmmm, I'd be interested to hear how the Bowie knife got its name.
