For those who are in or were in the US Army there is Squaw Ti t in Yakima, Chinaman's Hat at NTC, the Hills Misery and Agony at Ft Knox.

For history buffs the Antietam Battlefeild has Bloody Lane and the bloody half hundred acres of a former corn field the most sacred piece of American soil. More Americans died at Antietam than have ever died in one location on one day anywhere else at anytime- 3654 dead. This beats any battle in WWI, Pearl Harbor and 9-11.

Z, don't get me started on battlefield area nicknames!

Everywhere GIs go we have to use a different name because we can't speak the local dialect.

There are some great names for areas in World War 1 & World War 2 from the doughboys and GIs.

You tell 'em, gunnut.
Bunch of whimps.

What, you expect the ground to stay in one place forever or something?

ADD: Now the Kiwis know how to have an earthquake!

I slept through the Northridge quake in 1994. That was a 6.7 about 50 miles from me.

I slept through the Northridge Sylmar quake in 1971 !
