BLOG POST #4 : Yay or Nay? - Seabob Monsterpants

Okay, I have this riddle. What is yellow, has four sides, and has holes in it? Well, any answer? yup, you got it. The answer is our annoying little friend, Spongebob Squarepants. When the TV goes,  Spongebob, Patrick, Squidward, Mr. Crabs, Plankton, Sandy, and Gary. The main characters we really one to see every morning. Without them breakfast can be never complete. 


The show is one of those classic, timeless ideas. its about a talking yellow sponge who lives in a pineapple and is best friends with a weird pink starfish who lives in a rock plus has a meowing snail as a pet and works at a restaurant owned by a ex pirate crab. OK, sure, it sounds a bit of weird if you put it that way. Its not like the creators were actually serious about characters that are mutants or something, children's cartoons are metaphors.

Well, as I was surfing the web, I happen to stumble across this fascinating article entitled, "Insane Theories About Kids' Cartoons" by M. Asher Cantrell. In this particular study it talked about a particular theory. First of all, The setting of the show is a place called Bikini Bottom , that is inspired from the place called Bikini Atoll  which the official Nickelodeon-written synopsis already confirmed. Bikini Atoll is a crater formed by the Castle Bravo nuclear test. Can be seen on the north west cape of the atoll, it is said to be the result of the nuclear test that the U.S government detonated  underwater.


Somehow, everything about this cartoon made sense. The sea characters were normal until the radiation from the explosion mutated them into some kind of sea freaks or maybe even worse, they were evolved sea monsters. Even giant pineapples were growing deep in the ocean. Giant squids. big weird crabs, and a whole lot more. but, its just a Theory though, and an amazing one i must say. Having it hard to believe but somehow it does make sense. Not as the shows characters are real sea monsters, but the influence of it. as the creators makes a whole different world beneath the waves. They thought about the possibilities of having sea monsters

Because I was so fascinated about the insane but possible theory, I have found out that scientists now claim that sea monsters really exists. That's according to the article entitled, "Sea monsters really DO lurk beneath the waves, scientists claim" by Dacin Derbyshire.

Derbyshire said, "Now experts in marine life claim sea monsters might actually exist. Because scientists are still finding new species of underwater life, the discovery of ‘marine monsters’ is not impossible, a meeting heard yesterday."

Derbyshire stated in his article that numerous discoveries and sightings that are now on record can't all be explained away as mistakes, sightings of known animals or hoaxes. And just like what he said, sea monsters might actually exist. But how? 


In the same article some people have suggested that the present-day monsters that marine-biologist see now might be the prehistoric beings, that survived, and still lurks beneath the ocean. One of which might be the plesiosaurus, a long-necked dinosaur with fins and is capable of staying underwater for a long time.

Sea monster might be and effect or evolution, or normal creatures that were affected by the nuclear tests in the sea, or just dinosaur that survived. The point is, the planet is not finished showing its true colors, and its creatures inside it. Discoveries are yet to come about.
