There is an area in Madrid where all the streets are named after world seas: Mar Mediterráneo, Mar de Kara, Mar Caspio, Mar Negro, Mar Amarillo, Mar Rojo, Mar de Aral, Mar Báltico... Most people living there know which one is their street, and everyone knows Mar Caspio because the Post Office is there... but they are all very confused about all the others. Most they can say when you ask for directions is "It must be somewhere around here"... which is not very helpful!
Spellchecking this post has provided me with the biggest laugh all day today:
Mar [marathon]
Mediterráneo [medium]
Kara [Karachi]
Caspio [Cassandra]
Rojo [Roland]
Aral [Aramco]
Báltico... [blubber]
I especially like Cassandra and blubber...
