Dear fellow

rydra_wong mentioned the surreal place name Bird in Hand Passage (link goes to flickr) in a report here, and I recently walked along the delightfully named Little Penny Rope, so I'm wondering: have any of you visited any places with memorable names, or are there places on your hypothetical "to visit" list just because of the name?
