Could be the funding scientific research has needed. Imagine a new quantum particle called Dave or a deep sea creature named Starbucks. Shame but a way to make essential funds for researchers. Could even have a website where you bid your price for a type of say, plastic named after you. Who knows.
Great idea, raises funds for research and also gives Mericans something to spend their extra cash on.
I remember when a welsh student named a new mineral “welshite” but fukalite takes the biscuit.
