Psycho Path 'craziest' road in US

Other entries included Clinton and Fidelity streets and Zzyzx RoadA street in the US state of Michigan has won the dubious honour of being chosen as the most bizarrely named of more than 2,500 entries.
Psycho Path won first prize in a competition run by an American website.
Divorce Court (off Easy Lane) in Pennsylvania and Farfrompoopen Road in Tennessee were runners-up in the Wild, Weird and Wacky Street Names contest.
In the US, owners of private roads can register whatever name they choose with the local authorities.
Marty Padgett, editor of thecarconnection.com, said "Psycho Paths" were apparently popular in the US, after receiving several similar entries.
"I don't think they're mad on Psycho Path. If it is your property you can name private roads whatever you want.
"Psycho Path was that person's personal expression," he said.
Heading for Divorce Court
Some of the top entries occurred where two streets intersected - for example Stroke and Acoma streets in a retirement area of Wisconsin, or Lonesome and Hardup roads in Georgia.

Mr Padgett said his favourite was the intersection of Clinton and Fidelity streets in Houston, Texas.
"As far as bodily functions are concerned, you would probably not want to pass by Farfrompoopen Road.
"We are told it is the only way to get to Arkansas' Constipation Ridge."
All the street names were checked to ensure they were registered and not made up, including the macabre Shades of Death Road and the unpronounceable Zzyzx Road.
Mr Padgett said one reason for the bizarre listings could be that in some communities, developers simply ran out of names.
Jeff Zellar has lived in Pennsylvania's Divorce Court with his second wife for a few years.
"People laugh when they hear it. They ask: 'Are you planning on staying married?'
"In Divorce Court, there are seven homes - and probably six of us have been divorced already once. When we first moved in, my wife said: 'This sounds like trouble.'"
Mr Zellar is still married.

DETROIT, Michigan (AP) -- Apparently, one 12-year-old visitor to the Detroit Institute of Arts doesn't think much of abstract art.
The boy stuck a wad of gum to a $1.5 million painting called "The Bay" by Helen Frankenthaler, leaving a stain the size of a quarter, officials said.
The boy, who was not identified because of his age, was part of a school group that was visiting the museum last week when officials said he took a piece of gum out of his mouth and stuck it on the 1963 painting. (Watch why the boy put the goo on the canvas, see the stain -- 1:32)
The gum stuck to the painting's lower left corner and did not adhere to the fiber of the canvas, officials told the Detroit Free Press. But it left a chemical residue about the size of a quarter, said Becky Hart, assistant curator of contemporary art.
The museum's conservation department is researching the chemicals in the gum to decide which solvent to use to clean it. The museum hopes to make the repair in two weeks and will keep "The Bay" on display in the meantime, she said.
"Our expectation is that the painting is going to be fine," Hart said.
Holly Academy director Julie Kildee said the boy had been suspended from the charter school and says his parents also have disciplined him.
"He is only 12, and I don't think he understood the ramifications of what he did before it happened, but he certainly understands the severity of it now," said Kildee.
