Greenpeace is boosting public interest in saving the whales by holding a contest to actually name the humpback whale currently currently traveling on the "great whale trail" (whatever the heck that is).

The names include all the usuals you would expect from a bunch of smelly hippies: Kaimana, Shanti, Veikko, Cian, Paikea, etc. A bunch of crap. I feel sorry for any child born to parents who come up with names like that. Yea, life isn't hard enough already without being named "Paz" or "Anahi." Combined with the overbearing stench of pachouli, that'll go over great in the school yard. Thanks mom and dad!

There was one name, however, that caught my attention. So much so that I lol'd irl (that's laughed out loud in real life for the layman). That's right, somehow "Mister Splashy Pants" has worked its way onto the list. Not only onto the list, but straight to the top of the list.

"Libertad" and "Aurora" have garnered some votes, but there is Mister Splashy Pants right there at the top of the list with 79% of the votes. If this was an election, that would be called a landslide.

With a name like Mister Splashy Pants, I can actually see myself getting behind the cause of saving the whales or whatever it is they're trying to push. How could I let Mr. Splashy Pants die?
