Funny place names

I've been to Elend, it was quite nice really, there's a village down the road from Elend called Sorge, the people of the Harz mountains must be a bit of a pessimistic bunch

My contribution - 2 british hills:
Lord Hereford's knob
Brown Willy

I think Shangrila is funny too. Originally named Zhongdian, changed to Shangrila because the Chinese government said they found the real Shangrila in Zhongdian!

In Pennsylvania, there are 2 towns called "Blue Balls) and the other Intercourse. If places are named after significant events in the area ???????

There is a city in Oregon State called "Boring". Indeed.

I am reminded of a TV quiz show in Britian called, "QI". The host, Stephen Fry, asked a question, "What is the most boring place in England?". The answer escapes me.

Since I'm in the US, I've been getting my fix on You Tube. It's a pity that "QI" isn't airing here.

I found the answer!

The Wiki knows:

The most boring place in Great Britain is a field outside Ousefleet, near Scunthorpe, according to the Ordnance Survey map. It is the blankest square kilometre in the country, with only part of an electricity pylon in it.

Here is the Tangent: Charles Dickens despised Chelmsford, describing it as "the dullest and most stupid spot on the face of the Earth." He also invented the word 'boredom'.

There are lots of places with funny names in the Czech Rep. My favourite are:

Hrdlorezy (Cut-Throats)
Sterboholy (Shaveholes)
Hrob (The Grave)
Picin (Pussyville)
Ritka (Little Ass)
Odrepsy (Scrapedogs)
Veltrusy (Bigdung)

There's a Boring in Maryland also, and an Accident.

#14 -- But hasn't that place now ceased to be uninteresting, by virtue of its claiming the title of the least interesting place in Britain? They should put a plaque up, presumably on the part of the pylon that's in the appropiate acre.

#12 -- It's Blue Ball, singular, after an inn sign.

Meet a eastern European on a train from a town named Trash

THere is a town in Italy, I think it is in Umbria, called "Bastardo".

Hrdlorezy and Sterboholy are Prague districts, the others are towns.
