Doc: "This would be a fantasy come true. When I do my shopping, I know what

This image shows a unique tourism partnership between the towns of Dull, Scotland,
and Boring, Oregon, USA, established in 2012. It started when the village of Dull in
Perthshire, Scotland, challenged Boring, Oregon, to become its partner town, resulting
in a playful twinning agreement. This partnership was created to boost tourism
leading to increased visitors and merchandise sales.
The partnership later expanded to include the town of Bland in Australia, forming the
'League of Extraordinary Communities' to celebrate their ordinary names. A 'Bland,
Dull and Boring Day' is celebrated annually on August 9th.

Io is the most seismically active planet in our solar system. This is due to its close proximity to
Jupiter and the tidal pull of the other moons causing Io to be constantly streched and squeezed.
This constant tidal flexing creates heat and results in Io having over 400 active volcanoes.

I don't think so.
I could be wrong."
