I Simply Must Get A Postcard From This Town
I really thought this article must have been a leftover from April Fool's day when I read the name of the town. Apparently it is not.
Motorists using satellite navigation systems around the town of Crackpot in North Yorkshire, England have been finding themselves stuck at the top of a tall cliff due to some sort of programming error. It has become a frequent enough occurrence that local residents want something done about it before there is a big accident.
We here at Blue Crab Boulevard try to make sure we are not suckered by hoaxes, so we searched around and found photographic evidence that there is indeed a Crackpot in North Yorkshire, England.
OK, that was funny, here's the real proof.

No worse than Hell freezing over…Hell, Michigan, that is!
Lots of little towns all over the world have quaint if not downright silly names. Might make for a little research project!
