- shibbz, on 10/28/2007, -3/+30Okay. So lets start the copy and pasting of humorous sentences from the Wiki article...
"In 1613, Henry Crout, whilst sailing up Dildo Arm, came in contact with the Beothuks, who were residing on Dildo Island at this time. He traded with them and left gifts."
"In 1889 a codfish hatchery was constructed on Dildo Island."
"Dildo achieved greater notoriety when it was mentioned in the song "A Night in Dildo" by the Canadian musical comedy group The Arrogant Worms." - TheSwagger, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20Mianus, Connecticut ftw. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myanus
- TheTaoOfBill, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15I'm sure it's a great pleasure to live there.

- Galactoise, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I'm gonna stick with Lake Titicaca on this one.

- jsd8cc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6"The first church was built in 1878 by the people of Dildo. It was a simple structure that had no tower and was 30 feet wide by 80 feet long."
this stuff writes itself. - MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Its funny how its redirected to Mianus.
- wixardy, on 10/28/2007, -1/+6Dildo, by the Arrogant Worms: http://lyriki.com/The_Arrogant_Worms:A_Night_On_Dildo (as per last quote)
- foltaggio, on 07/11/2008, -0/+5Someone beat me to submitting World's funniest place name by four minutes (but I used *****, Austria)
- FuLouZero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Captain Dildo is snicker worthy.
- AbsurdParadox, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dildo#Etymology
"The word "dildo" originally referred to the phallus-shaped peg used to lock an oar in position on a dory (small boat). It would be inserted into a hole on the side of the boat, and is very similar in shape to the modern toy. It is highly likely the toy takes its name from this sailing tool, which also lends its name to the town of Dildo and the nearby Dildo Island in Newfoundland, Canada." - Rikushix, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I don't know which has the funnier names, Canada or Australia. Seriously. Find a map of Australia and close your eyes and point your finger somewhere and try to pronounce the name of whichever place it lands. It's a riot.
On the other hand, try saying "Regina" without laughing. - YogiWanKenobi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4They should extend a sister city proposal to Vagina, Russia
- swgc5, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Newfoundland ftw!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3What, has nobody ever heard of "Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump" in Alberta?
- GeekyGerge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Is that what digg has become? People submitting place names every 3 hours? But i'm not complaining!
- blurky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Hooray! I saw the heading of this article and immediate thought to myself "If its not Dildo, I'm disappointed". My old roommate in university lived on Head Road in Dildo. Btw, Newfoundland has a number of great names. Dildo is not far from Heart's Delight or Heart's Content. But it a ways from Baytona (yep, baytona - they had a contest to change the name from "Gay Head").
FYI: Its the Spanish form of the same word as arm, fjord or giant phallic object. - tizz66, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I submitted *****, Austria earlier: http://digg.com/offbeat_news/Most_OFFENSIVE_place_name
- moneyballs2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3OMG.
"Dildo Museum" That would be very interesting. - d0ctaew, on 12/30/2008, -0/+2ok so you found this by...searching wiki for ''dildo''?
- Lifer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Newfoundland represent!
- LegOfLamb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Don't forget the picture of Captain Dildo: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/10/Captain_dildo.jpg
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Your lake contains neither boobs nor poop!
- newfieboy23, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Joe Batts Arm, Conception Bay, Kilbride, Blow Me Down, Come By Chance (Oil Refinery), Indian Head, Peckers Point, Coxs Cove, Crows Head, Herrings Neck, Fortune, Hearts Delight, Hearts Content, Cupids. All in my home province of Newfoundland. I should take a few days and just drive around back home, taking pictures of all the signs.
- ColinCampbell, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Why not just block the ***** "Offbeat News" section instead of wasting everyone's time by bitching?
Stop being a douche, bouche. - Kikkoman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"world's FUNNIEST place name" named by digg user plaing...
- mrisi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Digg if you winced at another reference to Intercourse, PA.
- Kenzan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2So I'm guessing the "I (heart) Dildo" souvenir T-shirts don't sell very well.
- cuoops, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Ok this name game is getting ridiculous.
- feinest, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The only thing I laughed at was the Captain Dildo thing.
- scottschiller, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Don't forget the town of "Balzac", also in Alberta. Canada has some of the funniest names..
- digjedi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Another example of why Wikipedia will NEVER be taken seriously. I'm amazed when people say they write papers using Wikipedia... sometimes the lies and BS is not so obvious but it's everywhere in Wikipedia - most are too stupid to realize it.
- Schwooter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I find it funnier that people are going crazy over the word "dildo".
Seriously, grow the hell up. - dyckdownunder, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Obviously you didn't say the second one out loud...
- tavisjohn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"Lake Titicaca, oh Lake Titicaca
It's between Bolivia and Peru
Lake Titicaca, oh Lake Titicaca With
waters tranquil and blue.
Oh Lake Titicaca, yes Lake Titicaca
Why do we sing of its fame?
Lake Titicaca, yes Lake Titicaca
'Cause we really like saying its name!
Titicaca!" - Animaniacs - blurky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1oops - my fact checker tells me it wasn't gay head, it was gayside. Still dildo, tho.
- miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1If you think they are funnier, you don't know what a dildo is.
- davidrools, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1nothing good has ever come from myanus
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"The town of Dildo was founded in the late 1700s and settled to exploit the abundance of marine resources such as fish, whales and seals."
- VirtualCtor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1There was a Gay Head in my state, but the town changed it's name to Aquinnah in 1997. :(
The joke was that you could take a ferry to Gay Head (you couldn't actually).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquinnah,_Massachusetts - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Giggity.
