There's A Town Called Dildo And You Should Go To There

Tucked away in the nightstand drawer of Newfoundland, Canada lies the sleepy seaside village of Dildo. 

Before you start giggling (go ahead, do it), native Dildoians would like you to know that the origin of their town has nothing to do with artificial penises. Although no one is quite sure where Dildo got it's distinctive name, locals guess it has something to do with a 16th-century Spanish sailor or perhaps an antiquated nautical device (lol). 

So how big is Dildo? The current population is 1,200 people strong and attracting visitors all the time. 

Tourists to the town can enjoy a variety of pleasures: take a photo with Captain Dildo, the hardwood statue by the docks, patronize small businesses such as The Treasure Trove and B & M Machine Shop (neither of which is a sex store), or come in late July for Dildo Days, a local waterfront celebration. While you're there, treat yourself to an "I Survived Dildo Days" souvenir t-shirt.

Yes, there have been efforts over the years to change Dildo's name to something less...suggestive, but all attempts have failed. Turns out, native Dildoians are quite proud of their long history and will work extra hard to keep it going strong.
