3. At one time, Great Lakes Brewing.....

had a beer called "Burning River IPA!' It was named that to 'honor' the fact that at one time the Cuyahoga river actually was on fire because of industrial pollution. While it seems that they don't offer that brew any more - at least under that name - the idea that a river could catch on fire offers some insight why industries need to be regulated - contrary to what the current 'government circus' believes.
