The Jan. 18th List Universe had a list of the top ten "Morbid-Named Places" in the world. Remember, they have more information and even pictures, so check out their site.
10. THE SKELETON COAST-- Namibia, Africa-- lots of shipwrecks.
9. TOMBSTONE-- Arizona, especially OK you-know-what.
8. DEAD SEA-- Israel/Jordan
7. MURDER ISLAND-- Nova Scotia, Canada0-- Tusket Island. A brig found by it with blood in the interior. Either that or small pox in the French fleet.
6. GALGBACKEN-- (Gallow's Slope) Stockholm, Sweden-- place of execution.
5. HELL'S KITCHEN-- New York City around Midtown Manhattan crime, sex, street violence, gangs back in the 1800s.
4. THE DEATH ZONE-- 25,000 feet and up on mountains. Scarce oxygen. Life of any sort difficult to sustain.
3. GOLGOTHA-- (Place of the Skill) Jerusalem. Is this where Jesus executed or is it because the hill resembles a skull?
2. DEVIL'S ISLAND-- French Guiana-- notorious penal colony where thousands died. Wasn't there a movie made about this place?
1. DEATH VALLEY-- Nevada/California
Probably would have been better to have this one around Halloween. For the Huskies as in Northern Illinois, that morbid name would be Toledo, even if max Klinger does live there.
