Airport Waypoints

A friend of mine is a pilot for Southwest Airlines.
He just sent me a pic of the Waypoint listings for Atlanta's (Hartsfield -Jackson) airport.
Said he landed using Gandalf 1.

Yeah, it is.
Some people think the pilot sets the waypoint names (like you would on a personal GPS receiver) but he doesn't.
It's the airport that chooses its waypoint names.
There's a website I recall seeing that is titled something like "Funny airport waypoint names."
So (imo) Hartsfield - Jackson airport is just 'way cool for choosing ME names.
