Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHW YRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIOGOGOGOCH , Anglesy, Wales
(This Welsh town on the island of Anglesey is only known due to the fact that it has a very long name, and is the longest railway station name in Britain, and probably the longest domain name in the world.

The name translates as 'St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave'.

Originally called Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll, which means 'The Mary church by the pool near the white hazels' the village was renamed in the 19th Century.

This was around the time when the railway was built between Chester and Holyhead at the beginning of the 1850s. A local committee was put together to try and encourage trains, travellers and 19th Century tourists to stop at the village in order to help develop the village as a commercial and tourist centre. It is believed that the name Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychw yrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch was invented by a cobbler from Menai Bridge; little did he know that he had implemented one of the most successful tourist marketing plans of all time. Today the village is signposted as Llanfairpwllgwyngyll and is known to locals as Llanfairpwll or Llanfair.)

Goto Google and type in "French military victories", then hit "I'm feeling lucky".
Here lie these men on this sun scoured atoll,
The wind for their watcher, the wave for their shroud,
Where palm and pandanus shall whisper forever,
A requiem fitting for heroes

There are two towns in Iowa named Manly and Fertile.  Before I was born a guy and gal got married.  The headline in the paper read "Manly Man Marries Feritle Woman."  Has been the laugh up there for years.

 What Cheer, Iowa another funny name.

 Another story about a headine in Illinois; "Normal man marries Oblong woman" (Normal/Oblong, Illiniois)
