Fucking (pronounced “fook-ing”) is an Austrian village located in the western Upper Austria. The village is located 33 kilometres (21 mi) north of Salzburg, four kilometres (2.5 mi) east of the German border.
We had a vote last year on whether to rename the town, but decided to keep it as it is. After all, Fucking has existed for 800 years, probably when a Mr Fuck or the Fuck family moved into the area. The ‘ing’ was added as a word for settlement.

Quick question: Why does twitter restrict to 140 chars instead of 160?
Try these:
# Why are CDs of the diameter they are?
(Someone liked a certain aria sometime back)
# Why is Google called Google?
(Someone made a mistake with the domain registration)
# Why does the average male have absolutely no training to protect himself and/or his immediate family from physical threats in the real world (mugging, crowd altercations, etc.)?
(Someone got lazy & overconfident..)
Enjoy.
