Obligatory...
I for one, welcome our absorbent marine overlords.
Let us all bow down and pay obeisance to His Most Holey and Unshellfish Majesty, Spongebob the First!
The nearest most of us get to a sponge is when it's sitting on the bathroom shelf, but scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) have found four new species of carnivorous sponge that are chomping their way through undersea life off the coast of California. Most sponges filter particles of food from …
And we were wondering: Who could possibly gain from crashing a plane load of snackettes into the deep ocean off Australia?
Just how many of these spongy tentacular chaps are growing all over the fibre optic cables that interconnect the worlds flight planning computers?
Its not paranoia when they are trying to get you...
"I notice that they have noodly appendages. There could be room for religious argument here."
I get your drift, but there are problems. First, since these spongoids presumably have no muscles, those "appendages" would be better characterized as tendrils. Second and more important, where are the meatballs?
Third, there are a lot of these creatures, but the Noodly One is said to be unique, if very messy. At least that was my understanding...

However it does explain why our friend Billy's ludicrously enormous member is now so much shorter. I'd heard that the girl next door had hit it with a rake, but this turns out not to be the case. I now hear that he retired to the bath with his copy of Playboy - and only a sponge and a rubber duck for company...
