Leaving aside their location on the Irish Sea coast, what has Blackpool got in common with Dublin?

"Dubh" is Irish for black and "linn" is Irish for pool, so both names mean the same thing. But the official Irish name for Dublin seems to be Baile Átha Cliath, which means something like "town of the hurdle ford." Jul 21 03, 6:29 PM

Which sea has no coast? Leaving aside theological arguments, does the Bible indicate where the Garden of Eden was sited? Leaving aside as yet undiscovered territories, is there any island or piece of land on Earth which does not belong to any country? In the US, why is the east coast called "the eastern seaboard"? It's not on a sea, but an ocean. And why isn't there a western seaboard instead of "west coast"?
