Iceberg Connections

Just over a week ago, a photographer in Canada posted a pic of a distinctive looking iceberg that garnered a series of sobriquets (“dickie berg”, “chilly willy”) and led to a host of risque puns (“ ice for a stiff drink”).  What especially got my attention was the connections that were drawn to the questionably-named place where it appeared, and other questionably-named places nearby.  In that respect, a piece on the Live Science website stood out, for the number of places it pointed out.  Filed under the rather bland category of  ‘Planet Earth’, it bore this attention-grabbing headline:

Phallus-shaped iceberg floating in Conception Bay

Further ahead, it posted the aforesaid pic with this caption:

A penis-shaped iceberg floated by the town of Dildo, Canada, which isn't too far from the city of Spread Eagle and the town of Placentia.
