There are all kinds of places in the world with funny or unusual names, but these are a few of my favorites as featured in Mental Floss magazine: There is a town in Ontario, Canada named Punkeydoodle's Corners.\xa0 Apparently, someone kept stealing the sign with the town\u2019s name, so the residents replaced it with a monument that weighs almost a ton.

In the town of Batman, Turkey, a former mayor threatened to sue Warner Brothers over the name in the Dark Knight Trilogy.\xa0Eggs and Bacon Bay in Tasmania are actually named after a wildflower with yellow and red petals. Two glacial islands off the coast of Antarctica are known as The Office Girls.\xa0 There are so many glacial islands or nunataks as they are also called around Antarctica that committees were formed and charged with the task of naming them all.\xa0 The Office Girls were named in 1970 as a tribute to the administrative personnel on the US naming committees.
