well the road part is obvious... i mean it's spelled diferently. as far as the island goes, their are several possibilities:
case 1: someone crossed a river and thought it was the bay or something and thought they were on an island
case 2: whoever was their first was on drugs
case 3: island means "piece of crap state" in some other language
case 4: it was once an island, but the inhabitants felt isolated and lonely, like a big loser, so they gathered their finest vessels and towed the island inland.

well if 1 of those isn't right, i'm stumped
