5 City Names We Bet
T
You Can’t Pronounce
he world is full of exotic places with names that people will find hard to pro-
nounce, especially if there’s a language barrier in the way; but sometimes we
even have trouble pronouncing places in our own backyards. Here are eight
cities across the globe with names we bet you can't pronounce.
Skaneateles, New York, U.S.A.

This Onondaga
County town, located
southwest of Syracuse,
is a popular tourist and
vacation destination;
but if you asked for di-
rections to Skane-AT-a-
lees, you’d be driving
forever. The proper pro-
nunciation of this Fin-
ger Lakes community is

ilar to "Minneapolis."
Both Skaneateles and Lake Skaneateles come from the Iroquois “long lake” and with
good reason — Lake Skaneateles is 16 miles long and provides water to all of its
surrounding communities including Skaneateles and Syracuse. Things to do in
Skaneateles include the Curbstone Festival, the Antique Boat Show and the annual
Dickens Christmas.
Kaumalapau, Hawaii, U.S.A.

Kaumalapau, pro-
nounced Kah-OO-mah-
LAH-pah-OO, is a
coastal village and har-
bor on Lanai that is
great for sunsets, whale
and dolphin watching
and finding amazing
scenic views. James
Dole, founder of Dole
Food Company, built

to import pineapples to
the mainland. The Army Corps of Engineers built an updated version that was ded-
icated in 2007. While there aren’t many boats that come through the locks these days,
it’s still a great place to observe nature at its finest and spot local fishermen on the
docks waiting for a bite.
Zzyzx, California, U.S.A.

Zzyzx, California, is
more of legend than it
is a city or town. It’s
home to one person —
Rob Fullton, Director
of the California State
University Desert
Studies Center. For-
merly known as Soda
Springs, Zzyzx (ZY-
zicks) was founded by
a man named Curtis Credit: trekandshoot/Shutterstock
Howe Springer in 1969
— a controversial figure to say the least. It was, at one point, the last word in the
English language, reportedly because Springer wanted the last word. Zzyzx is in San
Bernardino County near Death Valley and the Zzyzx Road sign is a popular tourist
attraction for those traveling on Interstate 15 between Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
Ptuj, Slovenia
This little Slovenian
town is one of the hard-
est cities in Europe to
pronounce. It’s pro-
nounced P-TOO-ee,
but people still have

trouble getting it right.
Despite the fact that it’s

has an ancient feel to it with its cobblestone streets and valleys of matching red roofs,
and churches and castles fill in the landscape. Ptuj has been throwing an annual Car-
nival since 1960 and it has a reputation for being one of the best in the world
Wytrzyszczka, Poland

small village in south-
ern Poland.
Wytrzyszczka, pro-
nounced Vit-SHISHT-
ka, is about 35 miles
south of Krakow and is
known as the home of

text in 1390 and served
as a fortress for many years during the Middle Ages. Towering over the Dunajec
River, the castle is worth a stop for anyone planning a visit or passing through.

legiate sexual abuse case of all time, primarily due to the fact so many of the
victims had the courage to come forward publicly. But the MSU scandal isn’t
the largest sexual abuse scandal in academia, nor will it be the last.
After the Nassar case became public, two other universities, the University
of Southern California and Ohio State University, were forced to own up to
their own incompetence and negligence. USC is dealing with the fallout from
a sexual abuse scandal that also went on for thirty years, despite multiple re-
ports from patients and nursing staff of inappropriate behavior by George
Tyndall, a university gynecologist. Tyndall, who still maintains his innocence,
wasn’t suspended until a frustrated nurse reported him to the campus rape
crisis center in 2016.
After an internal investigation determined Tyndall’s behavior, which in-
cluded improperly photographing students’ genitals and touching women in-
appropriately during pelvic exams, was “outside the scope of current medical
practice,” rather than report him to the Medical Board, USC administrators
gave Tyndall a financial payout to resign quietly.

5. Renault Winery: Egg Harbor City, New Jersey

Necessity is the mother of invention, or certainly the fa-
ther of New Jersey “champagne.” Hailing from the famed
Reims area of the Champagne region of France, Joseph
Renault fled the storied home of bubbly in the mid-19th
century after a nasty little aphid known as phylloxera
wiped out almost all of Europe’s vineyards. Precious vine
clippings in tow, he sought out the warm, sunny growing
conditions of California, but phylloxera was there, too.
Word of problem-resistant native vines on the East Coast

winery he established in 1864 would go on to become the

7. Adam Puchta Winery: Hermann, Missouri

Hailing from the Bavarian city of Oberkotzau, Adam
Puchta was only 7-years-old when he and his family em-
igrated to Missouri in 1839, dreaming of fertile lands and
Gold Rush riches. Fourteen years later, thanks to a stint
in California, the latter helped Adam earn enough to get
serious about winemaking. He returned to Missouri and
bought a portion of the family’s then 80-acre farm and
get serious about winemaking, establishing his namesake
winery in 1855, and growing wine grapes and other crops
to keep the money flowing. His kids managed to keep
the winery in the black after Puchta died in 1904, but they
couldn’t withstand the pressures of Prohibition, which
put the Show Me State’s prolific producer out of busi-
ness—but not for good. In 1990, Adam’s grandson and
great-grandson re-established the Adam Putcha Winery,
adding a tasting room for visitors, and realizing Puchta’s
dream of becoming one of the most important wineries
in Missouri

Elon Musk says Tesla's pickup truck

will cost less than $50,000
GRAHAM RAPIER, Business Insider
• Elon Musk said on a podcast that Tesla's forthcoming pickup truck will cost less than
$50,000.
• "We don't want it to be really expensive," he told the Ride the Lightning podcast.
• He continued to say the truck will be better than the Ford F-150, which has been among
the top-three best-selling pickup trucks in the US for years.
Tesla's forthcoming pickup truck will start at no more than $50,000, chief executive Elon
Musk said on a podcast published Sunday.
"We don't want it to be really expensive," Musk told Ride the Lightning, which touts it-
self as the unofficial Tesla podcast. "I think it's got to start at less than $50,000, it's got to
be like $49,000 starting price max, ideally less."
Musk has been discussing a pickup truck since at least 2013, but things ratcheted up in
2018. Amid other possible features, Musk tweeted that the truck would have "crazy
torque," a dynamic suspension that adjusts for load, and outlets for power tools.
By December, Musk said a prototype would be available in 2019, adding that it would
be built right after the Model Y. Given that the Model Y has yet to begin production —
and Musk previously admitted issues when it comes to deadlines — it's unclear when a
for-sale version of the truck might roll off the factory floor.
