Hi everyone.
Was trawling the net trying to find materials for my own POI files when I came across this entry on www.localsearch.com:

Actually, I almost missed this, and am sure I have missed all the others that may be present as I use a 'grep' command to remove most of the unwanted text.
Have you come across any good bloopers and would like to share?

If bad and sloppy POI files
If bad and sloppy POI files are your criteria for humor, I would suggest

This was originally titled "Places to see in the Carolinas". It contains POIs like Salt Lake City, Cleveland, Seattle, and Universal Studios. It really just seems to be some coordinates that some one swept off the floor. When I pointed out the file to Miss POI the name was changed to "burtsr's Vacation spots" but the file stayed up and the contents stayed the same. I've been to both Cleveland and Salt Lake City, we already have these locations in all of our GPSs, and IMHO they are not vacation spots. Also in this list are Sego, Eureka and Helen. Helen might not like being considered a vacation spot for the public.
just a bunch of interesting places

I have to agree not humorous but interesting. Downloaded the file maybe something will cross during my travels.

When I got the gps, I wanted to test it. So I just hit the things closest to me button. And that's what popped up. Jump Aerobics.
