Jajireddigudem!

Jajireddigudem! It's not very interesting, but it has a great name.


It's a mandal in India. What is a mandal, though? I'm so glad you asked. It's an administrative division, smaller than a state but larger than a town.

Jajireddigudem, specifically, is a mandal in the Nalgonda district and contains such fine towns as Adivemla, D. Kothapally, Jaji Reddy Gudem, Kesarla Pahad, Kodur, Kommala, Kunchamarthy, Loya Pally, Machireddy Pally, Nagaram, Persaipally, Thimmapur and Vardhamanukota.


Man, I really hope Mortal Kombat was right about that no-knowledge-that-is-not-power thing. In the meantime, here's a picture of a Boyar Hat, a fur hat worn by Russian nobility between the 15th and 17th centuries:
