Is that where this picture's from?

Yes!

As you can see, H**l has frozen over

Plenty of place names in Australia.

Yorkeys Knob.
Iron Knob.
Bacon And Eggs Bay.
Chinaman's Knob.
Wagga Wagga (not really funny at all, but non-aussies seem to find it funny)

There's a place in AUstralia called Townsville too. I think that's pretty funny.

You're correct. Not a whole lot of people know that though.

NZ maori pronounciation catches tourist's out all the time.

whaka = F**k-an

as in there is a town call whaktane (f**k-a-tahn-a)

and then there is onehunga. pronounced oni-hunga. once heard a tourist try and explain to a bus driver that he wanted to go to one hunga. driver corrected him, told him how to pronounce that partuiculer place name.

tourist replied that in that case he'd just come from oni tree hill (the one tree hill made famous by the U2 song)

don't quite know if i made myself clear, but it's funny to us kiwi's!

ummm, well, right now im living in round rock texas and its named after surprise! a round rock!
