This town in Pennsylvania covers 500 acres, has 11 residents, 1 mailbox, and 1 pay phone. The name of this town is slovenskanarodnapodpornajednota. Now, why didn't Gord write a song about this town?

"slovenskanarodnapodpornajednota bound slovenskanarodnapodpornajednota bound, it's good to be slovenskanarodnapodpornajednota bound,
slovenskanarodnapodpornajednota bound slovenskanarodnapodpornajednota bound, it's good to be slovenskanarodnapodpornajednota bound!"

it sounds yugoslav.

slovenska = slovenian
narodna = people or area
jedan or jednota is similar to narodna

You Know Dunkin at first I was inclined not to believe you but on a whim I googled for
"slovenskanarodnapodpornajednota" and found it mentioned on this site:- http://216.239.33.104/search?q=cache...ley%27sBelieve
ItorNot.ppt+slovenskanarodnapodpornajednota&hl=en& ie=UTF-8
Well at least the HTML version of the site's powerpoint file http://www.pastor2youth.com/PPTGames/Ripley'sBelieveItorNot.ppt
that page will only load as part of the powerpoint thingie but if you are real patient you might see this striking slide pic

scrolling around I found this rather nice anecdote too
"In 1972, T.G.Brownell was struck by lightning twice. The first lightning bolt killed him, and
10 minutes later another lightning bolt restarted his heart! "
most of the amazing facts there seem to eminate from http://www.cccyouth.com.
but I could find nothing of interest to me there sorry to say to all you believers out there
