I don't know who the original post is by, but it's not true that
there's a "Cambridge" (or a river named Cam) in every US state. Not
even close. A quick check shows, for instance, that there's no city
or town named "Cambridge" in Oregon, Hawaii or Alaska--the closest
one seems to be in Idaho.
That would be me.
Not sure where that thought came from, and since I'm not from the USA I'll
have to do a little research this weekend and see how wrong I was. A quick
google reveals one in Massachusetts. That makes a grand total of 2 so far...

For
further laughs, I live near Cambridge. The last time I searched
for Cambridge online, I discovered that there is (atleast) one in
Canada, and one in every US state! Since then I always write
Cambridge, UK when referring to Cambridge to avoid any possible
confusion.
Yes, but which 'Cambridge, UK'? The City with a well-known university,
or the small village in Gloucestershire?
