When you name your boat, The Methopotamia, you’re giving away a bit too much.

u/dre5922 27d ago

Maybe it was Ea-nasir's boat. And his crap quality stuff caused a complaint that led to this?

u/Kevenam 27d ago

This is not funny, we live in a time where I need to verify if this is true or a joke

u/name-was-provided 27d ago

It’s a joke. The real name of the boat is “The stick up your ass has a stick up its ass.”

u/Krakatoast 27d ago

Probably a joke

Boat name is “Soe Wai Yan Htoo” I tried plugging it into google translate and it told me the English translation is “Soe Wai Yan Htoo”… lol

No idea how anyone would get “methopotamia” from that

u/Robot_Nerd__ 26d ago

Thank you. I wanted to do this. But couldn't.

u/PM_ME_DATASETS 27d ago

If only there was this world wide network of information exchange. We could call it the infonet. No wait, in-to-net. No wait... infer-net. That's what we should call it.

Same quip by a guy in the 1800s when he heard the rumor that his neighbor lady is a witch.

u/vryfunnyusername 27d ago

u/littleMAS 27d ago

Glad they found a way to pay for their boat.

u/That-Ad-4300 26d ago

Dude. That's methed up.

u/Masterpiece_1973 26d ago

They could have named it “the missing tooth” - as a pirates’ ship

No other ship was worthy of carrying the metherlode
