Stockholm Metro map ... in English

[wad]

Strange Maps, a blog that gathers, dig this, strange maps, pulled up a map of the Stockholm Metro services. What's even more helpful, the station names have been translated from the Swedish to English.

although I question the accuracy of some of these translations, they realy aren't that weird. after all, right here in California we have:

Calabasas= Pumpkins
La Cienega= The Swamp
Rancho Palos Verdes= Green Sticks Ranch
La Brea tar pits= The Tar tar pits
Los Alamitos= The Little Cottonwoods
La Cañada= The Ravine

Very nice system in Stockholm. A centralized layout with all trains connecting to a central point and every corner of the city accessible.

I'll be sure to visit "Sharp Nude" and not end up in the "Awful Hospital"

Umm, moderator...

You have to turn down the obscenity filter. The name of the stop on the map refers to the bowl shape utensil. (Yes, I was on another board where the obscenity filter was ultra-sensitive to the point where it blocked all strings that would spell an obscenity, even when the word wasn't obscene. Example: a type of spaniel that has the spelling of "rooster" but is also a word for male genitals.)
