Someone in the Census Bureau most be bored. Bevis Lake,
a 5 acre body of water 25 miles north 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.
"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,"
said Don Kissel, a land surveyor with the state Department of
Natural Resources.
