Tongue twisters

Did you know that there is a lake in New Hampshire called Lake Webster?

Probably not.  But, even if you didn't know that, I bet you didn't know what I'm about to tell you.

That lake was actually called Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg by the local Indians.

It is translated, "I fish on my side, you fish on your side, nobody fishes in the middle."

That's all.
