No kidding? The lake is right here in the same state with me, and I didn't even realize it. I just remember it as a curiosity my seventh grade teacher brought up one day. Maybe I'll have to pop over and visit the lake some time...."Excuse me sir? Can you tell me how to get to Lake Chargaggaguggabungamungman? Or is it Charbongaboongamangogoogolplex? Sir? Hey, where're you going? Can't you see I'm LOST???!!"
