Nottingham Forest's stadium isn't actually in Nottingham, it's in the town of West Bridgford which lies on the opposite side of the River Trent from the city of Nottingham.

It's an example of a team with a town or city in their name that don't play their home games in that town/city.

A bit like Grimsby Town and Falkirk.

Or the New York Giants and the New York Jets.

There's a place in Honduras where a natural phenomenon causes fish to fall from the sky like rain.  :unsure2:

Appears to be a quite bizarre phenomenon that results in the fish landing on the road but completely avoiding the adjacent pavement.......

The official world record for "Longest Time Spent Masturbating" is 10 hours and 10 minutes. That record was achieved at the 2012 San Francisco "masturbate-a-thon".

 

Clearly Morton fans couldn't keep their typing hand free long enough to fill in the application form.

Not a show I'll be checking Ticketmaster for. Maybe @throbber could be a contender?

The most northerly point of Brazil is closer to Canada (and every other country in the Americas) than it is to Brazil's southernmost point.

Furthermore, Rio de Janeiro was formerly the capital city of Portugal for thirteen years.

Canada is 2879 miles north to south so south is closer to Brazil but it’s 5,095 miles between Canada and Uruguay. 
 

I really should do some work

There’s a street in China where a truck spilled its load of catfish.
