Name that boat

[Aussie Willy]

I love this sort of thing. Open up a vote to name a boat. And the most popular name is Boaty McBoatyface.

I saw that. Can see how that name has gained some momentum - it's in line with the ludicrous strand in British humour, which can be quite funny at times (Fawlty Towers, panto etc.), but in this context I don't really get it . . .

I'll go serious on this one and say Prometheus. Lots of cool Star Trek ship names like: Excelsior, Daedalus, etc.

This reminds me of an episode of Parks and Recreation where a online vote took place. Similar results ensued.

People can't be trusted to make decisions...

From now on I want to be Sharpie McSharp face!

I love this story

Its probably for climate change research, so maybe Eco Explorer. Just for the record I'm no tree-hugger. I just like ships.

It makes me howl with laughter because one of the only other times i've heard [X]y Mc[X] Face is where is the X is replaced with a particularly bad swear word and that's all I can think of when I see this

What did Winston Churchill once say? "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." That's quite evident in our current political climate.

If he really said that, it's fabulous.

And yet, democracy is better than the alternatives.
