    Always had me wondering/laughing when I saw a Traccy bus in the late 60's/early 70's which said "Jump Circular" on it.

    How can you jump circular?

    Over here we have Lake Minne w anka (one word), Shaganappi and Medicine Hat amongst many other strange names.

    As a kid a place in Somerset or Dorset called Shitterton was a source of amusement too.
