Expensive Research Boat is Going to Be Named Something Ridic Because of the Internet

You know when you set up an open vote to the internet something ridiculous will happen. 

The next Royal Research Ship (RRS) needs a name and it's down to the public. 

The £200 million ($424 million NZD) ship will be used to explore the Arctic and Antarctic from 2019.

And you know which names are leading?

4th: RRS David Attenborough

3rd: RRS Pillar of Autumn

2nd: RRS Henry Worsley

1st: RRS Boaty McBoatface

YES, RRS BOATY MCBOATFACE COULD BE THE NAME. IT'S LOOKING HIGHLY LIKELY.
