City city bang bang

Do you ever wonder sometimes how cities get their names?

Ok, I now live in Mountain View, California, and yes, from most everwhere in the city there is a view of the local Santa Cruz Mountain range.

But what about Bangalore, India? "Bang galore?" Must be a whole lotta banging going on. Gee, with well over a billion people living in India, maybe they ought to call the whole country Bangalore.

  • Very creative. But you must remember that more banging goes on in american cities than in indian cities!
