I cannot claim I will be successful, but I will try. The book will be divided into 8 chapters; 1 for general world-over strangeness, and the other 7 devoted to things found on each of the 7 continents. Yep, even Antarctica is not without the bizarre. But unlike that link, all these things will be actual places, fully cited on their original pages for you to peruse at your leisure. That said, each chapter itself will be subdivided into 2 sections: the first having a copy of the portion of the relevant wikitable that this book was sourced from, as it was obtained on that day, and the second being a listing of each item referenced, with any noted sub-links included directly, to make for a more streamlined experience depending on reader preference. Now, I will note a bit more about the content of the book before I set you free. Within this book is just one subsection containing many, many other great topics and things to delve into for those interested in the weird and fantastic of the world. This is Book I of a series I hope to collate called **Wikiweirdia**. Each will be a simple taking and restructuring of a branch in the family tree of wikitables that form the source material found herein. I hope you enjoy my retelling retelling of the original wiki as... The Wikipedestrian's Guide to Unusual Places and Infrastructure.

Truthfully, Stranger A breast-shaped hill is a mountain in the shape of a woman's breast. Some such hills are named "Pap", a word for the breast or nipple. Such anthropomorphic geographic features are to be found in different places of the world and in some cultures they were revered as the attributes of the Mother Goddess, such as the Paps of Anu, named after Anu, an important female deity of pre-Christian Ireland. The name Mamucium that gave origin to the name of the city of Manchester is thought to derive from the Celtic language meaning "breast-shaped hill", referring to the sandstone bluff on which the fort stood; this later evolved into the name Manchester. Mostly breast-shaped hills are connected with local ancestral veneration of the breast as a symbol of fertility and well-being. It is not uncommon for very old archaeological sites to be located in or below such hills, as on Samson, Isles of Scilly, where there are large ancient burial grounds both on the North Hill and South Hill,[1][2] or Burrén and Burrena, Aragon, Spain, where two Iron Age Urnfield culture archaeological sites lie beneath the hills.[3] Also the myths surrounding these mountains are ancient and enduring and some have been rec- GalleryBreast-shaped hillSee also
The Folly of MankindSincerely, StrangeFolly were said to be buildings prized for their uselessness. In architecture, a folly is a building constructed primarily for decoration, but suggesting through its appearance some other purpose, or of such extravagant appearance that it transcends the range of garden ornaments usually associated with the class of buildings to which it belongs.
