What's in a name?

Today i felt nothing interestings to tell. So, I decided to write less words but put more pics for the first post of this February.

These are some of the most unusual town names around the globe.

The town called A, somewhere in Norway

The district of Boring, Oregon, USA

The town of Center Of The World, Ohio, USA

This is the town of Dildo in Newfoundland, Canada

Hehe...this is the small town of Condom in France

Hehe...Bastardo, in Italy...

The Town of Gays, Illinois, USA

Little town of Hell, Norway. So we can think like "Ooh.. i went to Hell and came back!"



County of Muff, Ireland

Welcome to Happy, Texas, USA

This is the small town of Nothing, Arizona, USA. One more interesting facts about Nothing is the town sign reads "THE STAUNCH CITIZENS OF NOTHING ARE FULL OF HOPE AND FAITH AND BELIEVE IN WORK ETHIC. THRU THE YEAR THESE DEDICATED PEOPLE HAD FAITH IN NOTHING, HOPE FOR NOTHING, WORKED FOR NOTHING FOR NOTHING."
Moron Air Base in Spain. Hahahaha...

A town called Silly in Belgium

Road sign to the town of Wedding, Germany

The arch of the town of Weed, California, USA

Zzyzx Road, California, USA. I wonder how to pronounce it? Is it Zye-ziks? Maybe, Zee-zye-iks?

This is the town of Wank, Germany. The sign means, Wank. Nesselwang market, turn at Ostallgäu

Good at Spelling Bee? Try this:
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrmdrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, Wales.
A translation into English would yield "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio near the red cave"

or this one, even longer...

Llanhyfryddawelllehynafolybarcudprindanfygythiadtrienusyrhafnauole, Wales.
(English: A quiet beautiful village, a historic place with rare kite under threat from wretched blades)

Bad Egg, Switzerland

The Nunhead station in London

An exit to No Name, Colorado, USA

Why, Arizona, USA

Santa Claus, Indiana, USA

The road name is Shades Of Death, New Jersey, USA

Huhuhu...basically the names sounds funny because the name of the town is in their own language and there is nothing funny. It just because its been traslated in english that made it sounds funny. Thats all~
