12. Apparently some Irish pronounce it "MORE-ans"

Less than two months ago, the house record at Moran's - pronounced MORE-ans, not mor-ANN'S - was shattered by a pair of visiting Englishmen. Hugh Williams and a friend (whose signature, perhaps understandably, is illegible in the guest book) consumed 158 of Galway Bay's best in one hour and 50 minutes.

From the website of Moran's Oyster Cottage, The Weir, Kilcolgan, Co. Galway. (Obviously, these are the Good Morans!)

14. Lots of towns have odd names.

Try looking thought a map sometimes. In Texas we also have:
Cut n Shoot
Circle Back
Earth, Venus, those towns are only a few miles apart
Kenedy and Nixon are only a few miles apart. (In 1960 a picture of a road sign with the miles to each was printed in TIME magazine. At the time I lived about 10 miles from Kenedy and thought it was funny.)
Needmore
Panhandle is located in the middle of the Texas panhandle area.
Old Glory
And of course, since our nickname is "The Lone Star State" we have a town named: Lone Star
