Hell, Norway
![]() The best part is that Hell literally freezes over every year when it snows :P There's also a Hell, Michigan, Hell, Cayman Islands, and there used to be a Hell, California up until the 1960's according to Wikipedia (which even had an LA times article written up saying "LA Is Hotter Than Hell - Only 97 Degrees There" when the temperature in LA was 102). |

i've been to Hell, MI. it probably freezes over in the wintertime too.
there's a town in washington called Walla Walla (famous for its onions) and another town called Humptulips. the indians in the pacific northwest spoke a group of languages known collectively as salish, and they give rise to some very odd place names. there's a river called the Hamma Hamma, and a county in oregon called umpqua. |
