Try to figure out what the German town name "Deppendorf" means  :devil
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Beat me to it as well, Dyanmite.

Pennsylvania's great for place names. I particularly love the irony of "California University of Pennsylvania" and "Indiana University of Pennsylvania" -- both of which are part of the PA's state university system.
Maturity is knowing that I've been an idiot in the past.
Wisdom is realizing I will be an idiot in the future.
Common sense is trying to not be an idiot right now

There's actually a town in Germany named F*CK. They're always upset because tourists keep stealing their signs. :D

I don't see much topping this one.   ;)
