Traveling through a town for a site visit today, I passed by the following street sign:
Viscoloid Ave.
Really? Who names a street Viscoloid? Granted, it's a name that would be hard to forget, but can you imagine the poor little kids who live on that street having to fill out that name on the standardized tests. And what is a viscoloid, anyway?
TIME PASSES...
It turns out, after writing the first part of this post, I did some Internet research on viscoloid. It turns out viscoloid was a plastic used to make combs, toys and such in the early part of the 20th century, and the company that made these items was known as the Viscoloid company. Guess that answers my question. Oh well...
