The country of Austria is home to a quaint little village named "F*CKING". Pronounced "FOOKING". My dog and I recently paid a visit to the place.

There is a place called Hell, Michigan. This past winter, you guessed it, Hell froze over! LOL http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-25648513

Town of Hell freezes over in the US - BBC News

As cold weather continues to hit the US, the small town of Hell in Michigan has ground to a halt due to a thick carpet of snow.

And I thought Hell's Kitchen was weird... it's a neighborhood in Manhattan.

OK not too far from my house in Northern Virginia is this great Chinese restaurant. The name of the place is "Wong Kok". We go there often so I will try to post a picture. Of the sign that is.

I also eat in a Chinese restaurant in New Hampshire the name was "Fuk Yu Inn". Maybe MAJ Robert Petrarca has been there NH is not that far from RI.
