There is hope for the human race!

Quote:

The UK's National Environment Research Council decided it would be a nice idea to allow the British public to name their new 200m pound ($AUD380 million) Royal Research Ship in an online poll.

Presumably they thought the public would take their quest seriously, but alas, it was not to be, despite the name quest being so popular the website crashed.

The poll's frontrunner is the RRS Boaty McBoatface, a full 21,000 votes ahead of the next candidate, the RRS Henry Worsley, named for an explorer who died in January during an attempt to trek to the North Pole.

RRS Boaty McBoatface was my confirmation name. I think I'll sue.

Just when you think there is hope...It's dashed.

I just now saw the title of the thread; my comment seems rather redundant now. :)
