Only as a play on words, probably cooked up by medieval pilgrims trying
to enliven the tedium of their journey. The original Latin means burial
ground. O.K., this is only my opinion, but I have seen others express it
as well. As an addicted punster, I see this as a natural consequence of
the conditions.
