-Mister Splashy Pants-
Yes, we know what you are thinking... "what kind of a joke is this", but we kid you not, this is NOT a joke. This is a new name for a Humpback whale that is currently being tracked with a satellite tag by Greenpeace as a part of its Great Whale Trail Expedition. The point of all this is to raise awareness about whales threatened by a Japanese Fisheries Agency. The name is very catchy and funny and was chosen in an online poll that garnered attention from several websites.
Yes, we live in a strange world where even the most innocent Humpback whales can be given the most wierd names without their knowledge. Here is a funny whale drawing that was included with the name.....so let's welcome Mister Splashy Pants and hope that he will have a long and chearful life:
