Nisku to Dead Rear to the Lyodminster area,

I'm sure these Canadian's make up these names just to confuse us Brits                

Yep: Dead Rear, Rotten Monkey House.... All meant to confuse you.

However, Alberta does have a place called Bawlff, I'm not joking either. Its not that far from Edmonton, but I've never been there.

I can only imagine how the place got its name, I envision two explorers in the early 1800s coming over the crest of a hill and setting eyes on the land where mighty Bawlff now sits. One brightly saying to his ill colleague: "Ah it is beautiful, what shell we call it?" to which his colleague on all fours replies: "BAWLFF!"

And so a great Alberta town was born.

Yeah, I'm sure the Bawlff people get that kind of joke all the time!
