Beware what you ask the Internet to do, they just might do it. Authorities asked the public for ideas on what to name a new science vessel used for explorer polar regions, and they came through, sort of.
The leading vote getter right now is – Boaty McBoatface. You can imagine that’s not what they had in mind.
Other top vote getters so far:
- It’s Bloody Cold Here
- Usain Boat
- Boatimus Prime
- Ice Ice Baby
- Boatasarus Rex
- Millenium Falcon
- I like Big Boats and I Cannot Lie
-Kate
