9 Odd Towns And Villages


Monowi is a village in Boyd County, Nebraska, United States. The village is notable because according to the 2010 census, it has a population of just one person. The only remaining resident of the village is Elsie Eiler. With 250 registered pairs of twins, the Indian village of Kodinhi, in Kerala, has six times more twins born than the world average.

I don't know which is creepier, the dwarf town or the twin town.

When I was a kid, we had a huge detailed model of a ship in the attic. All grey, bristling with guns. It was the model my father made of the troopship "Monowai", which brought him home from a prisoner of war camp in Singapore.
