Census Prankster Renames Bevis Lake
It's now... wait for it, wait for it... Butthead Lake!
LAKE STEVENS, Wash. (Jan. 7) - To the Washington state Department of Natural Resources, it's Bevis Lake. In Census Bureau records, it's Butthead Lake.
Ken Brown, a land surveyor with the state agency, suspects somebody in the federal agency decided to have some fun with the name of the 5.7-acre lake in a forested area about 25 miles northeast of Seattle.
He noted that U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps also show the name as Bevis Lake.

When the show was in its prime, I was working in the Sports Department of the local paper. There was a high school basketball player with the last name "Bevis". I figured that kid never did live it down...
