Besides, "Big Ben" has never been an official name for anything.

That's a big mealy mouthed bit of fail. It is what people call it and it's called Big Ben.Originally posted by kentonio View PostTry http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Dude, what the hell are you talking about? The tower is called the Clock Tower, Big Ben is the name of the bell inside it. They are not renaming the bell, they are renaming the tower. People will inevitably continue to call it Big Ben, but an officially named monument will now honour Her Majesty.Originally posted by Dinner View Post

My question is why that banker thinks the Queen deserved it. All she's been able to do is not die for 60 years. My grandfather has her beat on that count.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

Your grandfather doesn't have the stark genetic disadvantage that comes from centuries of inbreeding, HC--or does he? If he does, consult Parliament to discuss his rewards package. In any case, we Americans have no room to talk about this sort of thing, given our own conservative party's history of naming every damn thing in the world after Ronald Reagan. Remember when they renamed Old Faithful "Reagan's Sphincter"?*
*I am uncertain whether this actually happened. If it didn't, it damn well should have, because that would have been awesome.Comment

I'm pretty sure Reagan just got an airport and an aircraft carrier. Hell, W already has an airport in Houston so what's the big deal? Besides, Reagan actually did something to deserve his recognition. It's not like he was born into the presidency.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

So, once the tower is officially renamed, can we say that Big Ben's dong is in Big Bess?There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.Comment

There was a movement to pass a bill requiring every city and state to rename something after Reagan, which was retarded. In protest San Francisco renamed it's old sewage works after Reagan.Originally posted by Elok View Post
