I just learned that the full name of the city we know as Bangkok is: Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit which translates to: "The city of angels, the great city, the residence of the Emerald Buddha, the impregnable city (of Ayutthaya) of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukarn". Most fascinating, isn't it?
Alice Cooper taught me that "Milwaukee" in an Indian name. It's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land." I was not aware of that.
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. is a real, and grammatically correct sentence.
I remember from and English lesson back in school when I was 14 or so that an Indian heritage of the names is also the case with Manna-Hatin and Shee-Kaw-Goo, the latter meaning "Land that reeks of onions", which provided great amusement in our classroom.
I believe Milwaukee is also the only major city to elect three socialist mayors http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXEGGOjAe7I
