Each of the main characters in Spongebob Squarepants was inspired by one of
the seven deadly sins.
1. Greed (Mr. Krabs) - this is by far the most obvious comparison that can be made. The avarice of Eugene Krabs is made painfully clear throughout the series. He is constantly thinking of ways to turn a profit, even if it involves taking advantage of his friends or putting them in harmful situations! In one episode, he sings a song called "If I Could Talk to Money"...and there's even a wiki page devoted to compiling all of his greedy plans!

2. Envy (Plankton) - another no brainer. With all of Krabs' wealth and good fortune, there has been an equal amount of hard luck and failure for his archrival, Sheldon Plankton. Plankton owns a struggling restaurant called "The Chum Bucket" and is consumed with the desire to achieve the success of his adversary. His life's goal is to steal the Krabby Patty formula from his Krabs and drive his primary competitor out of business.

3. Sloth (Patrick) - the guy lives under a rock for crying out loud! If that isn't enough to convince you, in the episode "Big Pink Loser" Patrick is given an award for 'doing absolutely nothing longer than anyone else'. He then proceeds go back under his rock to protect his title.

4. Pride (Sandy) - the fact that Sandy Cheeks is from Texas alone should almost suffice for this one. She is a squirrel that is very proud of her heritage, so much so that in one episode she nearly moved back home! Sandy also takes a great deal of satisfaction in being the only land critter living down in Bikini Bottom among all the fishy folk. Though generally a good-natured individual, Sandy is quick to spout off about the greatness of the Lone Star state or to show off her athleticism in a karate match or a weightlifting contest.

5. Wrath (Squidward) - Squidward Tentacles has no qualms about expressing his negative outlook on life, whether it be by describing how much he hates his job at the Krusty Krab or through outward disdain for his two obnoxious neighbors. He is portrayed as a general failure who refuses to acknowledge his own personal flaws. This constant self-denial manifests itself in a sarcastic sense of humor and resentment toward the society that doesn't 'appreciate' his creativity and clarinet...erm..."skills".

6. Gluttony (Gary) - now this one's a bit trickier. Those who have watched a great deal of the series will have noticed a number of jokes about Spongebob having to remember to feed his pet snail. To be honest, Gary doesn't do a whole lot besides eating and meowing, and the meowing is often due to the fact that he is hungry. Once when Spongebob hadn't fed his pet, Gary is shown eating parts of their couch! In another episode, Gary runs away from home because Spongebob forgot to feed him for a while. Another time when Spongebob had amnesia, Gary ate a year's supply of snail food and became morbidly obese! This proves beyond a doubt that when left to his own devices, Gary would rather do nothing but eat.

7. Lust (Spongebob) - our final analogy is probably the least apparent because we typically think of 'lust' in a sexual sense. However, the alternative definition for lust is simply "a passionate desire for something". In this sense of the word, it cannot be denied that our absorbent yellow friend is an extremely lustful creature. Spongebob has a lust for life that is incomparable to most other cartoon characters - he yearns for the affections of both friend and foe alike, is eager to please, and will often stop at nothing to complete a task.

Here is some information which can save from cancer in long run.

Most of us knows what does this little triangle (recyclable plastic) means, but there is a number inside this triangle (number 1 in below picture) and it is very very important to know about this number.


Well the number is known as a resin identification code that can tell you generally what type of plastic that container is made of, and how safe it is. Although a water bottle cannot literally kill you, if you reuse it, you will probably swallow a lot of small particles of plastic. This is due to the fact that the plastic used for most water bottles is meant to be recycled and for this reason, they are made from a different and more recyclable plastic.


Plastic is rated from 1 to 7 and a good rule of thumb to determine whether or not the plastics are more or less toxic is 12-45 stay alive; 3-6-7-straight-to-heaven.

A good rule of thumb to determine the plastic is more or less toxic: 12-45 stay alive; 3-6-7-straight-to-heaven

1 – PET, polyethlyene terephthalate

2 – HDPE, high-density polyethylene

3 – PVC, polyvinyl chloride

4 – LDPE, low-density polyethylene

5 – PP, polypropylene

6 – PS/PS-E, polystyrene / expanded polystyrene

7 – OTHER, resins or multi-materials

Number 3 is for example the code for PVC – polyvinylchloride – and is obviously not used for food or beverage containers due to the fact that this kind of plastic can leach lead. And in comparison number 6 is the code for polystyrene and this is an incredibly common plastic that is used for food storage etc.

In zero gravity, a candle's flame is round and blue.



We all know about how fire behaves in outer space: It doesn't. Fire needs oxygen and oxygen isn't available outside of Earth's atmosphere. But, Fires can happen inside a contained, oxygenated environment in space, but they don't behave the way they do on Earth. The Earth's gravity imposes a lot of conditions on fire that wouldn't happen in microgravity.

Gravity is a weird phenomenon. When a fire starts, it heats up the air around it. This causes that particular section of air to become less dense. That low-density section of air heads upwards because gravity is pulling down on everything and colder, denser sections of air muscle it out of the way to get closest to the earth. This is lucky for the fire, because the only reason the air got hot was because the fire was consuming the oxygen. When the low-density air got pushed up and out of the way by the oxygen-rich air, the fire got a new delivery of fresh oxygen to burn.

Not so in zero gravity. The air that's is heated by the fire does expand, but with no gravity pulling denser air down into its space, it just . . . stays there. Meanwhile the fire continues consuming oxygen and putting out carbon dioxide until it smothers itself.

Men’s shirts have the buttons on the right while women’s shirts have the buttons on the left.


Because when buttons first appeared in the 17th century, they were seen only on garments of the wealthy. At that time it was the custom for rich men to dress themselves and for women to be dressed by servants.

Having women's shirts button from the left thus made things easier for the mostly right-handed servants who dressed them. Having men's shirts button from the right made sense not only because most men dressed themselves, but also because a sword drawn from the left hip with the right hand would be less likely to become caught in the shirt.
