Need a laugh? Look through this pretty funny map, which highlights some of the weirdest town names across each state in the United States.
Some of our favorites include Handsome Eddy, New York; Mormon Bar, California; Satan’s Kingdom, Massachusetts; and Jackpot in (where else?) Nevada.
Out of all the odd names we're seeing, a specific bunch stands out as particularly not friendly to potential tourists. Take Boring, Oregon, for example: would you ever want to visit such a place? How about Bland in Virginia? Okay, Oklahoma? Dull, Ohio? May we suggest the towns' various residents start a petition to change the names of their cities?
One more fun fact: did you know that a number can actually be a town name as long as it's spelled out? Folks out in Ninety Six, South Carolina and Number Eight, Missouri know a thing about that.
