Along the way (Commerce/Signs/Bulletin Boards) I found this image:

Did you know Melbourne, Florida, was actually named after Melbourne, Victoria?

However they make a bigger thing out of it than we do, and quite rightly so.

Yes, I was surprised to learn that, assuming it was after Melbourne. Lord.

Oh right. Hmm, this Melbourne naming stuff does seem to get raised a lot on this blog. I see it's also mentioned too at:

What gives there, Nab? I don't get it. Is that a double loop link back with po-mo twist?

Yes, it's a mobius comment.

As in why did the chicken cross the mobius strip? To get to the same side.

& why did the Lamb cross the road?


A quick check shows that Melbourne itself gets mentioned a lot in this blog. 70 posts in fact.

Can't get better than this.

It is mobius you cannot cross the road to chicken out, or for any other foul reason, when cooped up on the only side.
Sorry, I clicked on to the wrong link for florida.
