I take a break from grading term papers to bring you this:
If you live in a town called Rattenberg (pronounced "Rottenberg") that has no sunlight because the sun is blocked out by Rat Mountain, and someone comes up with a scheme involving giant mirrors -- it's time to move.

OMG, I can't believe I missed a Pinky and the Brain reference.
