Once again the fickle finger of fate has pointed my blog in the same direction,which in turn has tied into the subjects of the last two days. Today it is about both a town with an odd name and an unusual museum that is part of that town. The town in question is Condom,France. The name of Condom is derived from 'Condatomagus' meaning old Gallic market. The town existed well before the modern meaning of the word condom (condoms were also known as French letters). The town didn't let the name be an embarrassment but instead exploited the double meaning and opened a museum dedicated to comic presentation of this type of birth control. Sorry I couldn't find any pictures of the museum,so I chose of few of the town at random.
