What's The Name Of That City Again? Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

During a recent news broadcast, this British weatherman accurately pronounces the city of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. Seriously, that's a real city! I didn't know that myself. I had to look it up. The name was created in 1860 for publicity. And people thought that Kim Kardashian and her antics were original. Think again. She's just one person in a long line of people (and apparently whole towns) that have been attempting to make their presence known in really odd ways. It's like the parents who name their kids really weird names for attention.
