(CNN) -- It's a boy! And an Internet punchline!
As you may have heard, Monday in London, Prince William and wife Catherine celebrated the birth of their first child -- the world's most-anticipated baby since ... well, Kim and Kanye's daughter last month.
As of Tuesday afternoon, a name had not been announced for the royal child, who is third in line to the British throne. But Twitter was happy to offer suggestions.
The Internet, which has rarely encountered a news event it can't poke fun at, greeted the news with the expected mix of celebration, marketing ploys and jokes. Mostly jokes.
Thank you CNN. From reetime news technology.
