See you in Hell: top 10 unusually-named destinations

Unusually-named destinations

Have you ever been attracted to or put off a place just by its name? I have to admit, I'd like to visit these spots simply because their names are so out-of-the-ordinary!

1. Wee Waa, Australia

It may sound like the birthplace of Borat, but in reality it is the cotton capital of Australia and a great place to learn more about the history of the country.

2. Why, Arizona

Don't expect a town full of hyper-philosophical people. The name is a derivative of the town's distinctive Y-shaped intersection of two major highways. Initially, they were going to just call the city "Y" but state law required community names to have at least three letters.

3. Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Alberta, Canada

The name of this UNESCO world heritage site outside Fort Macleod refers to an ancient method of capturing bison.

4. Kissing, Germany

While not one of the world's most bustling tourist destinations, this town in Bavaria could be the ideal location for true romantics.

5. Try Again, South Africa

Try Again, South Africa

Giving new meaning to the term, "If at first you don't succeed." This is the perfect place for anyone looking for a second chance in life.

6. Slime, Croatia

Hard to believe that this rafting town has such an off-putting moniker. In fact, it's known for its beauty as well as its hospitality.

7. Roseberry Topping, England

It may sound like something you put on cake, but it's actually a stunning hilltop on the North York Moors with impressive views. Its name is derived from the Old Norse for Odin's rock or crag.

8. Hell, Cayman Islands

Known for its eerie rock formations, the town has good-naturedly set up a post office so that postcards can literally be sent from Hell.

9. Truth or Consequences, New Mexico

When the producers of the famous radio game show put out a call in 1950 for a town to name itself after the program and then host the show, this small spa city of about 7,300 people stepped up and changed its name from Hot Springs.

10. King of Prussia, Pennsylvania

It's generally agreed that a tavern established in the 1700s called "King of Prussia Inn" was the source of the name of this community of about 18,000 people. The largest shopping mall in the United States, the King of Prussia Mall, is located here.

13 rules of life

margarita

one
Never give yourself a haircut after three margaritas.

two
You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

three
The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship are, "I apologize" and "you are right."

four
Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

five
Never pass up an opportunity to pee.

six
If he/she says that you are too good for him/her — believe them.

seven
Learn to pick your battles; Ask yourself, "Will this matter one year from now? How about one month? One week? One day?"

eight
When you make a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm.

nine
If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance!

ten
Living well really is the best revenge. Being miserable because of a bad or former relationship just might mean that the other person was right about you.

eleven
Work is good, but it's not that important. Money is nice, but you can't take it, or anything else, with you. Statistics show most people don't live to spend all they saved; Some die even before they retire. Anything we have isn't really ours; we just borrow it while we're here... even our kids.

twelve
Be really good to your family and/or friends. You never know when you are going to need them to empty your bedpan.

thirteen
If you are going to be able to look back on something and laugh about it,you may as well laugh about it now.
