Or, to expand on Euty's curious find, like in 'famous consecutive BBC headlines', currently in "Most Shared":
Bangladesh woman cuts off penis
possibly because...
Poor 'face growing hunger threat'
So let's hope she'll not just shear, but share, too.

From the Intratube:
"New Tripoli is a community or populated place (Class Code U5) located in Lehigh County at latitude 40.681 and longitude -75.752 (New Tripoli Panoramio Photos). The elevation is 581 feet. New Tripoli appears on the New Tripoli U.S. Geological Survey Map. Lehigh County is in the Eastern time zone (GMT -5).
New Tripoli had a population of 0; a land area of 0.93 sq. miles; a water area of 0 sq. miles; and a population density of 0.00 people per sq. mile according to the US Census Bureaue estimate of July 1, 2009."
BTW, it is pronounced Neutra Poli, if you ever want to visit there, lol.

I hope this is in the spirit of this game, if not exactly the letter of the law. From an online article about a fast-food joint's tall sign:
quote:
“I mean, that is one giant sign when you’re back here,” said Dan Toms, who laughs in disbelief as he takes a gander at the sign that stands six-and-a-half stories tall from his backyard. You can also see the sign from his front yard. (Boldness added)
Am I the only one thinking, "Well, of course he can see it from his front yard if it's in his backyard, and his house isn't 7 stories high"?
