	Nope, sorry -- that's "Zyzzyx Springs Road".  The road leads to
what used to be a resort with hot springs -- the developer figured that
it would be the very last entry in every atlas of the U.S., and he'd get 
a lot of publicity that way -- it didn't work well enough to make the
resort a success, however.

	(I used to live out that way . . .)

"alt.folklore.computers.and.other.trivia"  :-)
