On old Route 66 (now I-15) going from Barstow to Las Vegas, there is an 
exit for Zzyzyx Road, probably the last entry in any geographical 
listing of street names. Turns out that was the actual intention, to get 
the last entry in! It's pronounced "Zy-zicks." My kids always look 
forward to seeing the sign for the road, even though it's out in the 
middle of the desert. There's a stop sign and not much else.

I remember someone who advertised in "The Gramophone" classified columns 
around 1956 who, to be first, started his ad with "Aaaaaarh! Aardvarks..."
