Very true
I think Boaty McBoatface has started a new trend that won’t be easy to shake
I heard about the research vessel and the public vote… but what the heck? Is that a reference to SpongeBob Square-pants or something??
I’m sure you can google its origins
Nope, it just leads back to the internet poll about the research vessel. I’m sure it’s more than random, it has a childish sponge-bob sound to it.

I was sure this thread was titled “flat dark earth people” I thought it was going to be about the colour. Fun thread though.
Well, here in Dunedin, NZ, a new albatross chick was born a couple of weeks ago.
The name mooted was ‘Birdy McBirdface’. I almost shot myself upon hearing that.
Nobody says you can’t suggest BirdyMacBirdface, or CountBirdface
On the DOC website, it reads: “This chick is far too royal for Birdy McBirdface!”.
Hmm, Master Birdface, King Birdface, Prince Birdface
People are free to suggest, but that’s just a ridiculous name :person_facepalming:
Having seen those massive birds up close, that’s the last name I would call them !
In the end BoatyMcBoatface is a ridiculous name, but it would have been funny
BTW there is now ParsyMcParseface
But red bull gives you wings 
Oh god ! It’s getting worse !
indeed?
Yes. ‘nominal aphasia’.
Because I really wish I didn’t understand half the crap I read on the net.
nah
SWMBO & I bought a Shakespearean Ski Boat.
She christened it “MidSummerDazeWetDream”…
The urge to PUNish is strong in that one! 
This video reminded me of this thread
I just realize this problem has grown to an alarming level. The UN has to act, the faster the better.
