My entry in the DU Stupid Question of the Day contest:

[Jackpine Radical]

Where does Fire Dog Lake get its name from?

[Blue-Jay]

1. How else would you put out a flaming dog?

Throw it in the lake, obviously.

[LSparkle]

2. I think the woman who runs it said it's a lake near where she grew up

Or something like that.

[rucky]

3. There are no stupid questions...

only stupid website names.

[ClassWarrior]

4. Or in the OP's case...

...stupid DU handles.

:D

~ducking~

NGU.

5. That calls for a clever retort.

BTW, I see you showed Iraq 4 Sale--How'd it go? The Chip Dems are doing it this month too (details in WI 4um if you're interested).

7. Sorry, I got no diagrams of witty rejoinders...

"IFS" is coming up this weekend. It drew a huge crowd when we showed it the first time, but that was opening week and it had a lot of extra buzz because of that.

NGU.

6. He's Riki "Fire Crotch" Lake's brother?

[sarge43]

8. Firedog is another name for an andiron

a pair of short, horizontal iron bars, legs or a supporting stand for holding the ends of logs in an open fireplace. From the Old French, andier. Probably someone wanted a different name for the lake than, say, Clearwater or Long and thought hey, name it after the thingy in the fireplace.

10. I read that the owner likes fires, dogs and lakes........voila.....n/t
