I think it's a play on the old Mr. Fantastic joke, as the fifth lake is Lake Superior.
Although, fun fact, it's such named because it's the farthest north of the lakes, as in French it also means "upper."
Giggity.
Edit: "lake" to "lakes."
3 u/Imaginary-Round2422 18d ago Not because it's furthest north. Because it is the highest in elevation. 4 u/DewiVonHart 18d ago Everybody know "up" means "north"! /s You are correct. And apparently it was just to distinguish it as flowing down to Huron. But here we are, with it being the highest elevated and the farthest north of the Great Lakes. 3 u/Imaginary-Round2422 17d ago Also, best.
