Rude Place Names

(AO) Some bright spark has gone to the effort of finding all the rude place names in the world and plotting them on a google map. Verily there is an Anus in France and a Homo in Norway plus that naughty place in Austria where they steal all the signposts.

Tennessee Fainting Goat

The Tennessee Fainting Goat, a.k.a. "Myotonic" or "Scare" Goat. suffers from myotonia congenita, a condition in which the muscle cells experience prolonged contraction when the goat is startled. The transitory stiffness associated with these contractions can cause the goat to stop moving, stiffen, and even fall down. This is not a true faint, but a muscular phenomenon unrelated to the nervous system. The actual degree of stiffness may vary widely from goat to goat and is based on a number of factors, including age, species purity, and degree of fright.

Shepherds used to keep them with sheep because the presence of a wolf would cause them to "faint", this allowed the sheep to escape as the wolf would concentrate on the poor old goat.

Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

I'm not sure why they are calling me "dork", wishful thinking perhaps. Dork is in fact the biological term for a whale's penis. Go on run that patch....
