While on vacation this summer, we saw the following sign just east of
St. John's, Newfoundland on the TransCanadian Highway:

		Moose-Vehicle Collision Study

                      Experimental Brush Clearing


Also, the famous town of Dildo, Newfoundland (and the water wonderland of
Dildo Run).  In Indiana, there's Hindoostan Falls (maybe 2 drops of one
foot or less each.  California's Gold Rush country 
(east of Sacramento and Stockton) boasts colorful names such as Grizzly Flats,
Copperopolis, Chinese Camp, Moccasin and Sheepranch.  Not bizarre but confusing
collection of suburbs such as Park Forest, Forest Park, Oak Park, Oak Forest, 
Oak Lawn, Oak Brook, Park Ridge, Woodridge, Wood Dale, Riverside, River Grove
and River Forest.  An unusual name for a beautiful place is Banff, British
Columbia, Canada.  B.C. also boasts Kamloops.

We look forward to some other delightfully bizarre things in this newsgroup.
