Just for kicks, we checked Wikipedia to see what it said about the town where we live. Words cannot describe our shock at what we found.
The Icon has been accused of some pretty bizarre things over the past two years, but even we couldn't even dream up what you are about to read.
The following comes directly from Wikipedia, the internet's free encyclopedia. It's the third paragraph that's the laugher. We've placed it in italics for your enjoyment.
(For the record, if there was ever a buried treasure at Harmon Field Clarence Kooker found it years ago with his metal detector.)
No, we didn't write it. But, we'd love to know who posted it. It all goes to prove that parent's shouldn't let their children wander aimlessly on the world wid web.

Here goes, word-for-word from Wikipedia:
Bluffton is a village in Allen and Hancock counties in the U.S. state of Ohio. It had a population of 3,896 at the 2000 census. Bluffton is home to Bluffton University, a four-year educational institution affiliated with Mennonite Church USA. Bluffton is served by the Bluffton general aviation airport. Bluffton participates in the Tree City USA program.
The Allen County portion of Bluffton is part of the Lima Metropolitan Statistical Area, while the Hancock County portion is part of the Findlay Micropolitan Statistical Area.
The village was founded by Pirates in 1832, they sailed down the Riley Creek. These pirates had treasure that they were keeping from other settlers so they buried it somewhere near the goal post at the football field.
Some have said that it is buried 10 feet below the post but you will never really know unless you to try to dig it up. Of course, only by knowing the secret pirate incantation is it possible to bypass the curse placed on the treasure chest.
