Long and unrecommended drive from France to Spain and back:
Start seated on
Anus and get 2
Piles after seating for way too long. Back to France and end in
Pain in less than a day. Here's how:

No EBTor has been to Anus (or at least has reported it). No EBTor has been in Pain either. Anus and Pain are in Burgundy (in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region), not far apart.

Nice post.
"Pain", of course, also means "bread" in French, which is somewhat interesting on its own right.

No Fucking-mayor, no Fucking-restaurant, and not even a Fucking-Sidewalk?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I used to live in a building facing "Pump street" and "Back Acton Street".
We found it quite amusing.

There is no listing in the EBT database for it, I wonder is it because the village is part of the municipality of Tarsdorf, which is listed? If I were to enter a note from Fucking, Austria today (obviously I can't) what would happen?
I've registered
a note as "Fucking", but it was merged into the cityprfile of
Tarsdorf, because Fucking belongs to its municipality (that's the policy of the Austrian EBT-database).
Just to explain the Fucking-situation:
I live in the Franking, only a few kilometres away from Fucking, and there is nothing in Fucking, I think not even a sidewalk. It only has 100 inhabitants and no council, mayor, no municipal office etc. It is a "Ortsteil" of Tarsdorf, that means it is part of the municipality Tarsdorf and for that reason it does not have a city profile.
I've already told eddy once, that the restaurant Lindlbauer is in the village
"Haid" (another 50 inhabitants Ortsteil of Tarsdorf) and NOT in Fucking!
For more information visit the profile of Tarsdorf at
Statistik Austria which lists the villages and its inhabitants.

Here's a curious fact (pseudofact?):
The geographical centre of the Euro Area (or Eurozone) is in Brain, France, which is very close to Anus.

For Germans who do not speak Dutch, even the venerable city of Leiden may sound funny. After all, "leiden" is the German word for "suffer" ...
A village near the German city of Leuna, Saxony-Anhalt (actually it is now part of Leuna) is named
Pissen.

Still a confusing name (even with the extra).

You're absolutely right.
I remember that a few friends of mine were planning a trip to the "spanish" Barcelona for New Year's Eve and one of them watched on the Italian railway company website for further infos about it and looking for a train. He didn't care so much to the arrival station and was booking a 17-hour-trip to the Italian Barcellona!

Monaco is worse still, especially if you are in Milan and thinking of going to the mediterranean principality, but getting on a train to Monaco in Bavaria won't get you in the right direction
