Another interesting city in Michigan:

Novi - pronounced "know-v-eye"

Was number six (No. VI) stagecoach stop. The name stuck (or no one around with imagination).

Then there's towns like Intercourse and Blue Balls, PA which can only be explained by the Pennsylvania Dutch.

In the era of 8-bit computing, there was a hack for the Commodore 1541 disc drive that would vibrate the read/write head in varied frequencies to play the song "Daisy". It was aptly called "Drive Music" and was notorious for destroying or misaligning drives after only one play.

Here is a link to a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gnMgmlKi_o
