So how’d Lio get to know the address of Lou C. Fur?
To let you all know (since we’re a bit on the topic of the mail service), there is such an Alaskan town called North Pole and a Canadian ZIP code that goes H0H 0H0; being somewhere in the rural outskirts of Montréal, Québec.
He musta Googled “Hell postal code” and learned that it was a “community….served by the Pinckney post office with ZIP Code 48169. The unofficial population is 266.”
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell,_Michigan)
Huh, I would have expected the population to be in the billions by now….
There is an actual “Hell” in Michigan - maybe an hour or so west of Detroit. Story is, back when the town fathers thought the town had grown to the point where it should be a “town” and have a name, they went to the most important local businessman and offered to name it after him. He refused, saying “You can name it ‘Hell’ for all I care.” Whether as a joke or because he carried that much weight, they did in fact so name the town. Anyway, if you want to just address an envelope to “Hell” in the US, that’s where it will eventually end up.
@ the_JAM -> of course, USPS can “Get It Through” > not wind nor snow nor boiling sulphur nor raining brimstone shall stay their couriers from their appointed rounds
I love how Lio mailed the package from a post office drop box. You’d think he’d at least have to go to the post office and attach a customs label to it. Or is Hell now considered one of the United States? That’s assuming Lio is a US citizen.
You’ll notice it was the U.S. Mail that delivered that package to the correct address. Nothing DOES stop them, does it? They WILL go to hell and back for you.

Well, he’s done other impossible things. The postage must be expensive, though.

I think there’s a town called Hell in Norway. It freezes over pretty regularly …

Very thoughtful Lio.

Actually if it eminates from Montreal, Quebec, it would be called a postal code, rather than a zip code.

B.L. Zebub, P.O. Box 7734 with illegible town, country and zip will send any package to Hell. Add enough postage and it may make it to Hell and back…

Actually, the 7th (or 9th, I forget which) circle of hell is frozen solid, so you’d want to keep the mail from freezing solid and shattering.
