Lying Buncha Science Bastards

Indeed if you let people vote for a name you must stick with the one voted for, otherwise what was the point?
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis. 
Bastards.
It occurred to me that it's properly a ship, not a boat. Shippy McShipface has a bit of a ring to it, yes? What a missed opportunity.  (May 7, 2016 at 2:05 pm)Cthulhu Dreaming Wrote: Bastards.

It's just like a few years ago, when Mountain Dew hold a public vote to decide the name for their new soda. They never released the "Hitler did nothing wrong" drink either...  http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/08/14/moun...bly-wrong/

If a government that doesn't rule with the consent of the people is not legitimate, how much worse even is it for a boat? Out on the sea sailing under an illegitimate name? Bastard!
From the article -
Quote:No one's going to complain about a ship being named after Sir David. I wouldn't bet on that proposition. 
I may be wrong (again!) but I think they asked for suggestions rather than having a formal vote.
and yes, it's a ship not a boat 
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it! 
Correct on both counts.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
