*Chuckles over German word for 'fat'* I'm sorry, I'm very immature, I know. |

Does anyone know why the reindeer from that poem (title escapes me) have German names?

What about... Ich bin Dick. *Giggles*
That's a bit ambiguous if my thinking is correct. Lai, have you ever been to that Austrian town called Wank? Have you ever been to the town Hell, Norwegians? What about the French city Condome? *Bursts out laughing* I'm sorry, it's the weather, honest. (Oh, and there's another terrible Austrian town name, I won't mention that) Last edited by Linaewen : 03-03-2004 at 09:50 AM. |

Never been to Hell (I will visit it someday, no doubt ), only Hellerud (which probably is worse).
While we're on the subject, there's a city named Asbestos in Spain, a village named something not very nice in Austria (look at the picture on this site: http://www.snopes.com/photos/austria.asp#photo ), one named How in Wisconsin and one nameda Silly in Belgium. Zu dick gewesen ist gesundheitsschädlich.

Though I believe there is a place called Helmond (Hellmouth) in the Netherlands.

LOTR in Italian is "Il Signore degli Anelli". I was in Italy when the FOTR ("La Compagnia dell'Anello") film was out, and I got lots of postcards with "one ring to rule them all" etc. written on them in Italian. At least I think that's what it says - I don't speak Italian, only a bit of Latin
And as for odd place names - the best one I know of in England is a place near London called Pratt's Bottom

Yup:
