I was catching up on some blog reading when I came across Jonathan Coulton's mention of a whale naming contest that Greenpeace was having in. We all remember Free Willy and the star of the movie Keiko. I'm thinking when Greenpeace came up with the idea of letting the people name a whale, they were hoping for some sort of name that envoked beauty with a deeper meaning to draw in awareness. Instead, they got Mr. Splashy Pants. You have to admit, it has a certain je ne sais quoi.
