Boaty McBoatface

[Exterous]

The internet has weighed in on what the new name of a research vessel should be: Boaty McBoatface although it remains to be seen if they will go forward with that name.

Should be fail boat.

 

[Schmide]

No matter what they name it on paper. It will always be. Common vernacular is greater than all. Accept it move on.

Ice Ice Baby would be better for an Antarctic research ship.

 

[Printer Bandit]

Good name for a boat that most people don't even care about.

 

[Rubycon]

Well.... that ended a cute little thread fast. Kind of hard to make a joke after that.






But I will try. WTF.

I like how all of you "ship" people are trying to make Boaty Mc Boatface politically correct.

I hope the people who started the contest appreciate the success. It gets the public aware of and interested in the polar research their country is supporting. When Boaty McBoatface launches, it will actually be in the news. If they name it Endeavour like they suggested, no one is going to give a shit.

When NERC opened up suggestions to name their new ship, little could they have predicted what the frontrunner would be

I guess they don't spend much time on that Internet thing.

And there was that shuttle Endeavor, too.

What kind of crappy web service are they using? Can't they just spin up another few instances to handle the increased load?
