Legends

Rumors surround the lake about an obese boy named Alkinoos who once defecated in the lake while skinny dipping causing it to grow a mystical green color. Scientists have later come to a conclusion that the rumors are true and the color is indeed caused due to an abundance of chemicals from Alkinoos' feces.
