The Number Six Weirdest Story I have read on Cosmic Debris...
(From the Summer 0f 2003)
It seems the residents of a German town are protesting at the name of their new community centre, der "Nacktarschhalle". Why? Well, Nacktarschhalle translates literally as the "Naked Arse Centre". (Catchy Name, huh?)
Town councillors in Krov, in the Mosel region, voted to name it Nacktarschhalle after their most popular wine, the Krover Nacktarsch, but many of the town's 2,500 citizens, including mayor Elmar Trossen, are furious at the name.
Mr Trossen, 64, said: "Can you imagine being invited to a wedding reception or holding a classical concert at the Naked Arse Centre?" The Mayor, who was out-voted 11 to four on the name, will have to grin and bear it as the the official inauguration of the Five Million Dollar community centre will go ahead as planned at weeks end.
