Since #boatymcboatface has become international news, I thought my 2009 ted talk about #MisterSplashyPants would be an appropriate #TBT.

In case you missed it... "The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) has launched an online poll to name a new polar research ship which it says will put Britain at the forefront of ocean science. The NERC said it was seeking something inspirational that would exemplify the work of the £200m ($288m) vessel: Endeavour, perhaps, or Falcon. So far the runaway winner in the online vote, yet to be confirmed by the NERC: Boaty McBoatface." via theeconomist
