In 1992, the governor of Hawaii received a 30,000 signature petition to change Maui's name to “Gilligan's Island”.
This was the result of “Operation Desert Isle” a plan put together by a fan club of the television show Gilligan’s Island. Of course, the change was never made, the governor said “no” and, reportedly, one of his secretaries burst out laughing when the request came in.
