Hearing Nothing at the moment

Because I Know You Like Voting on Things


Greenpeace is having an Internet poll to officially name a humpback whale. The thirty options include "Aiko" (means 'little love' in Japanese), "Sedna" (the name of the Innuit goddess of the oceans), "Nurani" (means 'conscience in Bahasa Indonesia) and "Mr. Splashy Pants." Which means, you know, Mr Splashy Pants in English.

Guess which is winning.

But it's not to late to put in your own vote!

And no "Harpoon Magnet" is not an option, you sick, mean person, you.

    You know, I REALLY wanted to vote, but since Quasimodo wasn't an option, I choose none of the above, although Mr. Splashy Pants isn't bad...

    I went for "Paz" only because "Tebucky" was taken.
