This is gonna be cool.


My friend Ann e-mailed me this article, which appeared in her local newspaper today:


Census Lists Renamed Lake As 'Butthead'
LAKE STEVENS, Wash. (AP) -- Someone in the Census Bureau
may be watching a little too much MTV. Bevis Lake, a
5.7-acre body of water in a forested area about 25 miles
northeast of Seattle, is now appearing in Bureau records
with a different name: Butthead Lake.
Those two names - Bevis and Butthead - are almost identical
to the 1990s MTV cartoon show "Beavis and Butt-head," which
featured a pair of slacker teenagers who watch music videos
and make bad jokes.
Someone at the Census Bureau must have gotten bored and
made a joke out of naming the lake, said Ken Brown, a land
surveyor with the state Department of Natural Resources.
"It's got to be," he said.

It's not unusual for small lakes in out-of-the-way places
to have different names because of variations in county,
state or other official records, but there are no such
indications in this case, Brown said.
"That means someone is playing a joke, I think," Brown
said.
