“Nothing Is Real” – 21 Places On Earth, But Only 12 Are Real, It’s Your Task To Find The Imposter Cities

Cities, towns, and villages can be named after a bunch of different things – some are named after a river that flows through it, others are named after tribes who lived somewhere around, and others mark a certain historical figure or a ruler. However, today, we’ll look at something totally different – places with funny or unusual names. To make it more interesting, some of the areas on the list won’t actually exist, and it’s your task to figure out which are real and which are fake. Up for a challenge? Off we go!

Sometimes, I drop a challenge for you myself. I'm especially into anything involving math or logic puzzles—basically, anything that makes your brain do a happy little dance, or gets you frustrated because you definitely should have gotten that right.

    I don't think this was very well researched. Some of these places BP is saying aren't real... Exist and are easily googled.

    Fugging is actually way more believable than the original name of "F*cking" but still it existed

    Also: the name was changed because tourists kept stealing the sign.

    Nothing actually has a roadside eatery and motel...it dates back to being a stop on the Pony Express. Still open to this day, and apparently doing quite well! ...because there's nothing else around for miles (heh), and people use the highway to get where they need to go.

    I believe Boring, OR and Dull, Scotland, are sister cities. I've been to both.

    I have read that Dull and Boring are sister cities. There's a third one that joined later, but I can't remember the name

    As children we always giggled when we saw the highway sign announcing Pee Pee Creek (Pike Co. OH).
