Boring and Dull

Boring in the United States and Dull in the United Kingdom are friends. Why? It's all in their names:


I think it's wonderful that a town in Oregon and a tiny village in Scotland celebrate their uninteresting names together. It's events like this that make the world a better place and - pun fully intended - make it more interesting. I'm also pleased to see that the comments on the linked article above are overwhelmingly positive about the friendship between the two places.

  2. That's so funny. I have a postcard of Boring Middle School. It was a big hit for a while. I can't remember where I bought it. I remember looking the place up to see if it existed. Small Boring world!
