In Hebrew, there is a common saying about out of the way places.

In the end of the world, turn left and continue forward.

I thought you were referring to an unknown Israeli celebrity by the name of Uri Marker.

Also consider: public static Uri Geller { get; set; }

As a European I do not know this, jokes in code are not always a good idea, are they? ;-)

change it to "null://middle/of/nowhere" perhaps? (Might have seen that in MT I think)

The rest of the world can have some fun just watching how Israeli coders decide why the joke is funny...
