Something funny about German nouns

I have found some German nouns very interesting:

1. Umzug (move house)

  "Zug" means "train", and "Um" means "on". Does this means Germans use trains to move houses?

2. der Fladen

  "der Fladen" has a meaning of patty, but it also means cow-dung. I don't think I am going to eat Fladen when I'm in Germany.

3. der Schnellkochtopf

  "der Schnellkochtopf" means "pressure cooker". "Schnell" means "quick", "kocht" means "cook", and "topf" means "cooker". So "pressure cooker" in German is "quick-cook-cooker"!Lol!
