The thread name is also quite weird.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch- Village on Anglesey.

'Nuff said.

I know there's a city called Vagina somewhere in Canada, and a town called Condom between Canada and us, the US (oh the puns)

There's also a Hell, Michigan.

I do recall there being a town called Gofuku in Japan.

There's also Tickle Cock Bridge in Castleford, near York.

There are two pretty good ones in Scotland. Twatt, a small village on the Orkneys, and Glenrothes.

The US does have come pretty good names. Intercourse, Pennsylvania is my personal favourite. Followed closely by the village of Climax in Missouri. Both are defeated, however, by the small Swiss town of Cunter.

There's a sh**load of places on maps of Missouri that don't exist or are no longer in existence.

There used to be some little village right where my parents' house is. It was called Beaver Dam. It's the family farm that my grandfather bought and my dad was raised there, and my dad went to Beaver Dam School which was a one-room schoolhouse, and there used to be an old church called Beaver Dam Church that wasn't far away. The schoolhouse still stands to this day, but the church has been gone for probably 15 years.

God, I sound old.

Bell End is a street.
There was an ironic flood in Cockermouth.
Somewhere there is a place called Muff.

So does Missouri... It's officially named Mexico, but the locals refer to it as Hell. Myself, included.
