Microstate Sealand
The Principality of Sealand is a micronation that claims as its territory the artificial island of Roughs Tower, a former Maunsell Sea Fort located in the North Sea 10 km (six miles) off the coast of Suffolk, England, at 51°53′40″N, 1°28′57″E, as well as territorial waters in a twelve-nautical-mile radius. Sealand is occupied by family members and associates of Paddy Roy Bates, who styles himself as H.R.H. Prince Roy of Sealand. The population of the facility rarely exceeds five, and its inhabitable area is 550 m².
Although Sealand's claims to sovereignty and legitimacy are not recognized by any country, it is probably the world's best-known micronation, and is sometimes cited in debates as an interesting case study of how various principles of international law can be applied to a territorial dispute.

Several callers kept recordings of their conversations. Over time, the booth became covered in graffiti, as many travelers would leave a message on it.
The booth was removed on May 17, 2000 by Pacific Bell, at the request of the National Park Service.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch was renamed so during the period when it was popular to collect train tickets (early Victorian I think). Lots of people visited it, (and therefore the town got lots of tourism) for the really long train ticket.
Is it just me or is that church really messed up?!
And Dito on the climbing the bunny thing. I would climb it, and then take a nap on top.
A penis museum?! That's even more messed up than the bone church!!
