strange find when war-driving

I've been scanning for wireless networks in a small town in Manitoba,
and I found 7 ad-hoc wireless signals scattered throughout the town
with the SSID of "Barney." Could this be a wireless appliance of some
sort? It seems quite strange to stumble over so many networks with
the name "Barney"...

I can usually see three or four wireless networks from my location
that have always had default names such as "Linksys." I just checked
tonight and they are all named "Barney!" AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHG!
