    My favorite piece of Welsh trivia: In Welsh, Excalibur is called Caledfwlch. Yes, that's right, 6 consonants in a row. Pronounce that, *****es.

    Oh, and that word is a compound of two words: caled and bwlch. You'll notice the second word contains no vowels.

            There is no ch in Scottish.
