    Default Re: Funny place names

    There's a municpality in Norway called Modum which was declared a few years ago as having the country's ugliest place names (lakes and similar) among those were...
    A lake called "kuktjern" - meaning "cock lake"
    Another lake called "Bergsjø" - which just means "hill sea/lake" or "mountain sea/lake" but is pronounced by locals as something like "bæsjø" which would mean "shit lake"
    A cottage called "runkebu" - "runke" means to wank/masturbate/jerk off
    A place called "Merrafitta" - roughly meaning "the bitch cunt"
    A place called "Rassballehaugene" - "Ass ball tops/hills"

    Sorry for nasty language... and fortunately most of these are only understandable by Norwegians.

    "One of the nice things about looking at a bear is that you know it spends 100 per cent of every minute of every day being a bear. It doesn't strive to become a better bear. It doesn't go to sleep thinking, "I wasn't really a very good bear today". They are just 100 per cent bear, whereas human beings feel we're not 100 per cent human, that we're always letting ourselves down. We're constantly striving towards something, to some fulfilment"
