(URL may change) In 1994, county officials in Fayetteville, NC had to come up with a number of street names for a new subdivision. A list of candidate names was submitted for review. Names rejected include Derbyshire, Edinburgh, Sheffield, and Knightsbridge. Two names that were approved include Anthrax and Sepultura. As if to make up for past stupidity, procedures are now underway to rename Anthrax Street to one of Justice Ct, Allegiance Ave, Remembrance Dr, Memorial, and American. [...] Unsurprisingly, residents of Sepultura Street remain unmoved by recent events. (jk:) |
