Title: TOP 10 Cities in the world with funny names!
Post by: Altair_Carter on April 22, 2009, 02:00:51 pm
Tourist site Virtual Tourist made up top-10 of the most funny cities/towns in the world, names which sounds funny:

1. A city in Australia called "Wee Waa". which name can be seen as birth place of space character Borat, as said by tourists.

2. A town in Arizona, USA, named "Why" . Reason of this silly name is "Y" - because the town stands between two wide highways.

3. Town in Canada in Albert province named "Head- Smashed-In Buffalo Jump" . The town is a heir of a cult Unesco, and his name comes from an ancient way to hunt on a buffalo.

4. The town "Kissing" in Germany

5. SouthAfrican town "Try Again". A very good place with opportunity to start your life again!

6. The "Slime" Town . The town is known as paradise for lovers of rafting.

7. "Roseberry Topping" town in England. According to known information, the itself name "Roseberry Topping" from anciend skandinavian means "Odin's hammer"

8. A town on Khaiman islands named Hell (Ад), known for it's wicked, mysterious rocks. The post office in town gives the opportunity for tourists to send their letters "From Hell" :devroll:

9. Town named "Truth or Consequences" in New Mexico, USA. Before this name the town was named as "Hot Springs" and was known as SPA-Vacation place.

10. A city in Pensilvania state,"King of Prussia" got his name from the same-named tavern, which was built in the starting of 15th century, around which were settling first settlers.

Translated myself, so if there are mistakes, sorry :)

Yes the story behind that is, is that the founder of the city was at his desk one day and was busy doing something. Other officials came into his office and were annoying him because they wanted the city to be named already. And the mayor said "you can call it HELL for all I care, now get OUT!".

And lol at the jackass video.  :lol:
