<div id="ygrps-yiv-1719426466">There is a book &quot;A Place Called Peculiar&quot; which has<br/>
many a strange names and their origins.  The book &quot;All<br/>
Over The Map&quot; and its sequels also collect names in<br/>
subjects, among them a few strange ones.<br/>
I was looking for the town of Fucking online, but<br/>
ended up finding Wildshut and Franking before at last<br/>
finding Fucking.<br/>
I went to Hershey Park a few weeks ago and on the way,<br/>
I stopped by an amish village.  They had a few signs,<br/>
so I tried finding it on a map.  WIthin a few square<br/>
mile area, there is Beaver Creek and Bird in Hand. <br/>
There is also Intercourse which can take you to<br/>
Paradise if you are willing to take a turn.  There<br/>
were two other places even stranger which I don&#39;t<br/>
remember the names of.  Makes you wonder about the<br/>
Amish, doesn&#39;t it.<br/>
