Name of the Day: Cayman Islands

Cayman must have been a debauched soul who stashed away his ill gotten wealth in an island in the Caribbean Sea. Or so I thought. Till I discovered that the Cayman Islands was named by Sir Francis Drake in 1586. He spotted a lot of caimans (alligators)there and couldn't resist the temptation of calling it so. It is said that Cayman Islands has more registered businesses than people. A reason for this is there are just 50,000 people on this island! Add to this the attraction of no income/corporation/capital gains tax. Another cheeky trivia about Cayman is, the highest point in the island is befittingly called The Bluff.
