The lake was discovered by famed explorer Mortimer F. Morton, ancestor of the Morton family of Morton Salt fame.

SALT LAKE CITY – (Satire News) – A group of Utah scientists recently finished a five week research study and they have learned that the Great Salt Lake is not what it appears to be.

For millions of years, everyone believed that the lake, whose real name is Lake Geecheepeecheetonka was almost totally Morton's salt.

The lake's official name is Navajo and means “Water that is salty-as-hell and which if swallowed will cause some bad ass runs, and trust me, I ain't shitting you.”

Meanwhile the mayor of Salt Lake City Erin Mendenhall, has made it abundantly clear that she will not move to have the lake's name changed to "The Lake That Is Actually Only .3% Salt," as a group of Republicans have suggested. ■

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
