It's in NSW, Australia. The only thing I actually know about it is that it has an IKEA store (The closest one to where we'll be moving incidentally)The best professors are mad scientists! -Zoom

Hopefully your Tempe is half as cool as mine. Then again, hopefully it's half as suburban. Don't get me wrong, I love my home town, but it is filled with cookie cutter houses, subdivisions, big box stores, chain restaurants, and shopping malls.
On the bright side, it's not completely mindless Suburbia. After all, how many other towns do you know that have an upside down pyramid as their City Hall?

Quoth Jester View PostDevon must be an interesting place. Because I'm wondering, and I don't think I'm alone here, how in Zeus's butthole do you get "Wolsey" out of that???
Quoth Jester View PostDevon can't be all bad. They have a town named after my favorite beverage.

Apparently,Hampton Court is so named because on the day it opened,whilst declaring it open, old Henry VIII got too close to a sash window and had a terrible accident when it trapped part of him inside.
And ever after it was known as the day that good King Henry got his Hampton caught....The Copyright Monster has made me tell you that my avatar is courtesy of the wonderful Alice XZ.And you don't want to annoy the Copyright Monster.

Quoth crazylegs View PostThe same way us Brits can pronounce 'Mainwaring' as 'Mannering', 'Churmondley' as 'Chumley' and when we're feeling particularly mischievous then 'Featheringstonehaugh' as 'Fanshaw'
The second one is a bit of a stretch.
The third one brings us back to Zeus's butthole....
