#15 Boring, Oregon, USA
The town by the name of Boring is a settlement located in the state of Oregon. The origin of the town’s name remains a mystery to many locals and amuses the visitors. The good thing about this name is that it is pretty much self-explanatory and there’s no need to explain how things are there.
#14 Loveladies, New Jersey, USA
How about this for a town name? The founder of this town probably had no better idea to express his love and gratitude to women than name the town like this. The town’s name also probably helps not to forget about the importance of love in their lives.
#13 Wagga Wagga, Australia
This town name looks like something out of the famous Shakira’s song. In reality, the name was derived from a language spoken by the Wiradjuri people, who were the aboriginal inhabitants of the area. In their language “wagga” means “a crow.” There were probably too many crows in this city and they had to put this word in the city’s name twice.
#12 Middelfart, Denmark
The name of this town speaks for itself. The locals have probably grown very tired of the jokes they hear after they tell people who speak English the name of their home town. And they can get a few more laughs after they tell that in Danish Middelfart means “central passage.”
#11 The Bottle, Alabama, USA
Naming the town is a serious matter. The founders of The Bottle in Alabama had probably done some serious thinking with a drink or two before they came up with such an idea for naming the town. Imagine this conversation “Hey, where are you from?” – “I’m from The Bottle, it’s in Alabama.”
#10 Hygiene, Colorado, USA
This is definitely a very helpful town name. It is especially good for raising children, as there is no need to constantly remind them about the importance of hygiene, they are reminded by road signs and inscriptions on the buildings. All they have to do is just believe in the town they live in!
#9 Hot Coffee, Mississippi, USA
If you’re on the road and looking for a short break from driving for a hot cup of coffee, this town will definitely attract your attention if you ever happen to be driving by. In fact going as far as to naming the entire settlement after a beverage is a sure sign of that there is a place where you can get a hot cup of joe in this town.
#8 Okay, Oklahoma, USA
“Okay, so how are things in Okay?” If you didn’t know that Okay was a name of a town, you would probably think that the person who is asking this question is simply crazy. To answer the question though, things in Okay are probably okay.
#7 Dollarbeg, Scotland
A hilarious name, isn’t it? Though it doesn’t seem very appealing to tourists, who might think that the place would be horded with bums asking for change. In reality this is and old town with rich cultural heritage and it features a medieval castle, and it is not overrun with the homeless.
#6 Ii, Finland
This is neither a typo, nor a Latin number on a road sign. This is an actual place in Finland, a municipality named “Ii.” The locals speculate that the name originated from the Sami language and translates as “a place to stay overnight in.”
#5 Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, USA
This name is something out of the famous truth-or-dare game; only instead of dare you get consequences. It’s not very clear why you can’t have both the truth and the consequences, but it appears that the person who came up with this name only had one option.
#4 Why, Arizona, USA
Why name the town Why? The person who came up with this name was probably facing a serious dilemma and couldn’t find the answer to his questions. By naming the town in such a way he added to the headache of other locals who have to explain why they are answering the question about their home town with what sounds like another question.
#3 Acme, West Virginia, USA
You probably remember the fictional Acme Corporation from the "Road Runner" cartoons. Well, the news is that there's actually an entire settlement that bears the name of Acme in West Virginia. It's hard to tell whether there is some correlation between the fictional company and the town name, but it sure does seem like there is.
#2 Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, USA
This town name helps the locals not to forget the old saying “a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush.” This sign pretty much explains the origin, yet it is still too hilarious to be true.
#1 Needmore, Texas, USA
Here’s a good town name to wrap up the article. It kind of arises more questions than it provides the answers and it looks like it’s missing some important part. Need more what? What’s missing in Needmore? You can visit this town and find out for yourself?

#15 A Very Convincing Ad
Some ad designers get so creative when it comes to coming up with fresh ideas for new products that they eventually fail. Seriously, comparing a woman to an ape? Come on, be serious. Although what they succeeded in is making quite a few people laugh.
#14 Vampires Have Changed, Haven't They
From creepy-looking creatures haunting the woods and scaring people to death with their thirst for blood to popular icons almost as adorable as the boys from the famous boy bands - vampires have really changed. It's popular to want to be a vampire nowadays. Doesn't that sound crazy?
#13 Before and After
Times change, but people don't. At least not to a great extent. The thing that definitely didn't change about this guy is his passion for the shirt. Hopefully, he didn't wear it all day and every day for the whole period of his education.
#12 This Is What Happens When You Give Your Pet a Bath
If you've ever tried to wash your dog or your cat you're probably well aware of their reaction. Especially, if you're a proud owner of a cat. Some pets just don't seem to like bathing after all. Although, it seems like the same statement applies to some people too.
#11 Everyone Loves Cake
We all love cake, don't we. Although this child looks like she's absolutely crazy over cakes. And she definitely wants more. Have you ever heard of cake addiction? If there's no such thing as cake addiction, doctors should definitely write it down in the medical books, because it's real. Female readers of this article can certainly relate to this.
#10 True Story
All men know this one. True story. But then again, life has to change, and everything comes with its price. Life after marriage has its shortcomings, but it's also way easier in some context. It's nearly impossible to stay single for the whole life, although some people somehow manage to.
#9 Party Hard
As the popular song goes "A little party never killed nobody." Well, there might be some truth to this statement. Party might not kill, but what usually does is the headache on the next morning, if you'd done a little too much partying.
#8 Shampoo Choice Can Make a Difference
Suddenly, the famous scary girl from "The Call" doesn't look all that scary, does she? Well, her appearance from the TV set right into the living room would still be startling, but somehow with clean hair she suddenly looks better. Who will doubt that proper hair care is important after this one?
#7 So This Is Why Screens Are So Flat Nowadays
Has this guy eaten the whole TV set? By the looks of his face he surely has. Although, seriously, obesity is an important issue and the less time you spend in front of the TV the better.
#6 Ostriches Ahead!
Why did the ostrich cross the road? So that the people who install the road signs could install this piece of art. And why is the "after" part of the sign installed above the "before" part? This one is really confusing.
Have you ever felt like these two were somehow connected? Although they don't share that much in common, aside of the green skin color. Maybe it's not only radiation that created Hulk. The steroids might explain why Hulk is so buff and has all those unsolved anxiety issues and why anger management classes will do no good for him anyway.
#4 I Warned the Rooster Not to Mess With Me, but It Didn't Listen
Cats don't usually eat chicken, but as the famous slogan goes "You're not yourself when you're hungry." This cat apparently got the chicken with a little seasoning of vengeance delivered to him. This chicken just messed with the wrong cat.
#3 Before and After the Hairdresser
When you get a new haircut you always feel different. Sometimes you feel like the barber has cut too much, but no one will put your hair back on. That might be upsetting, but then again, the hair will grow, so nothing to worry about.
#2 Does She Know the Secret of Eternal Youth?
Leo has definitely grown older and doesn't look like the kid who would drown to save his lover anymore. But it seems like since "Titanic" Kate Winslet hasn't aged a bit. What's her secret? Well, you can only imagine.
#1 A Flying Dog?
From the looks of this photo it might seem like the dogs will fly sticking their paw forward Superman-style if they drink coffee. Although, apparently they won't. And feeding dogs coffee doesn't seem like a bright idea. Something you wouldn't want to attempt if you like your pet.

Delicious: A baby Tod's shoe, made entirely of cake, made by cake maker Debbie Goard
The 45-year-old, from Oakland, California, said: 'The idea that someone would want to eat their shoe has always seemed a bit odd to me'.
'Shoes are really like every day sculptures, and some people truly revere their shoe collections.
'These cakes tend to be amongst the most technical designs, not at all unlike the car cakes I make.
'I try to work from templates or blueprints to get them as accurate as possible, and I fully research each design. By the end of some projects I have become an erstwhile expert on the subject.
'Most of my shoe cakes start around $350 and go up based on the complexity of the shoe and the servings required.'
Exquisite: The Californian cake designer created this replica of a pair of Miu Miu wedge shoes from dough and icing
Mouthwatering: Ms Goard has been baking for more than 25 years and goes to great lengths to ensure he cakes are as detailed as possible
From trainers to elegant designer labels, these shoes have hopped from pavement to plate.
Californian cake artisan Debbie has fashioned a series of edible life size designs, ranging from the sleek Louboutin Bibi Pump to the chunky Jordan Retro.
The Louboutin Bibi Pump, made entirely of fondant, took Debbie a week to work out and set up and was designed as part of a birthday cake presentation.
The Jordan Retro, also made for a birthday celebration, was created with cake, buttercream and fondant.
Good enough to eat: Debbie Goard has produced an array of footwear-inspired cakes including this Jordan Retro which is entirely edible
The details on the shoes are made from fondant, using sculpting tools to imprint texture and detail.
She added: 'The first Louboutin Bibi Pump I made was quite a learning experience.
'Closed shoes create unique challenges because, as convincing as the final product hopefully is, it's still an edible product and sugar does not behave at all like leather.'

#9 African Serval
The African Serval is a species found in the savannah of Africa. Their large ears help these animals locate the prey, mostly small rodents hiding in the tall grass. While in pursuit of prey servals can jump up to 10 feet in the air and can even catch a bird in the flight. Much like many other wild animals, servals don’t usually make good pets.

Bush babies inhabit the woodlands of eastern Africa. They typically live in tree hollows that provide shelter, but sometimes they also construct nests in the forks of branches or shelter in man-made beehives. They can live up to 14 years in captivity.
