Yesterday, I learned that the threat to rename the Gulf of Mexico I heard about long ago, actually happened. A friend told me that it happened, and I looked it up on Google Maps and sure enough, it was renamed. I was in disbelief, and literally had to see if this was a dream, so I tested my dream by trying to fly and couldn't fly and then I realized it was true, and not a dream. Dead serious.

I've been off news feeds for years now (soo much happier) and really am shocked such a stupid thing was done.

Then they told me that this idiot was trying to rename Lake Ontario too. I was like "that will never happen".

Now, today I hear here that the idiot actually did follow through with this threat to rename Lake Ontario. What a sad mental state of affairs for that individual.

Apple is renaming the lake on Apple Maps too. So, 100% of those people who switched to MapQuest are still adding to AppleGoogle's revenue which must be disappointing to them, but if this somehow leads to popular support for a new platform or even more-web-fewer-apps, I'll be super glad for that.
