surprised to hear the announcers talking to someone in Hell, Michigan.

I think we talked about the place back when we were sharing webcams 
around

the world, or maybe just talking about odd place names.

Anyway, it really tickled my funnybone to hear the announcer solemnly
asking someone in Hell what he thought was going to happen.  And
predictably, after they thanked him, the other announcer did wonder 
how hot

it actually got in Hell.  (Rarely over 100 degrees F.)


I no longer have the URL but, at the time, I printed out the photo: the 
town's name on a post, which you see as you enter the town. With 
icicles hanging off of it... I've laminated the photo and it still 
hangs on the fridge, providing my daily dose of amusement. It's also a 
great tool in the cause of efficiency: whenever someone (like DH) asks 
me to do something unreasonable, all I have to do is point... :)

There's a campsite in the Ziller Valley in Austria called 'Camping Hell'.
While we know this is the owners name and believe it means Bright, it's
still funny each year as we take our coach load of students past on their
ski trip. We have camped not far away in the Inn Valley and hope next year
to actually stay in 'Hell' It looks a really nice campsite!
Just going as far as Pembrokeshire this year...
