Here's something: The SwipeDistrict of Bonnyville in Alberta, Canada is holding a contest to name a taxidermied rat.

Is Bonnyville's other name Pawnee, Indiana? We don't know for sure, but maybe.

The district posted the contest to their Facebook page, along with a picture of the unnamed rat.

"Agriculture and Waste Services has added this little guy -- a Norway rat -- to their pest control education toolbox, and want YOUR help to name it," the caption of the post reads.

The official rules of the contest explain that the rat "will be used to educate M.D. residents about the pests."

According to CBC News, Alberta has been rat free for decades and has committed to staying that way. The first step to doing that is the educate residents on exactly how terrible a rat problem could be.

"It's for educational purposes, so people can actually see what a Norway rat looks like," pest control officer Kirby Claybert told CBC. "Because Alberta's rat-free, so many people in their lifetime have never seen a Norway rat, or what it looks like."

The winner of the contest will receive a $100 gift card to Boston Pizza, as well as District of Bonnyville branded swag.

While we aren't located in Bonnyville, we have a suggestion: Boaty McBoatface, perhaps?
