Here is an absurdly obscure question I’m not sure anyone will be able to answer.

Are Delhi and New Delhi, Illinois the same thing?

**Moderator Warning**

Given that you admitted to starting one of your recent threads [“just to see if people would try to answer it seriously,”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16477545&postcount=40) I’m going to take this a more of the same. This is an official warning for trolling. Don’t abuse General Questions by asking questions you know the answer to, and be clear about exactly what you are asking.
