Spare the Mushrooms Please!

Now we all know that Spongebob Squarepants is a huge hit!

It’s a Massive hit!

It’s a Visceral hit!

I always knew that and have always been a fan of the show, but it was when I checked into a BBC site that I realized that it is insanely hit!

Why do I say that?

I say that because the web site told me that a new species of mushrooms has been discovered, and it has been named after the show!

I don’t know why, but a few of my brain cells compel me to think that this news is a little bizarre…

Spongiforma Squarepantsii is the name that they have been given, and believe me, if you do not have a pretty thick tongue like I do, you would not have a difficult time speaking that.

Actually am I kidding? Even if you have a slick tongue, there is no way in the world you can speak that name comfortably and download it in your minds! Is that a hybrid of French and Italian?????

Anyway, heading back to the main news, San Francisco State University students were the ones who found it, and they came across it when they were on an expedition in the forests of Borneo.

The mushroom is shaped like a sea sponge, and has a very fruity aroma.

Now we know that Spongebob is a sea sponge, but if seen more closely, it gives you the look of a kitchen sponge. I guess the resemblance was enough for them to name the mushroom after it.

I guess the people at that university would be some fans of the character, eh? Its ok people, I know what it is like to be fan of this sponge! Frankly speaking, anyone, who opts to watch Spongebob Squarepants online, doesn’t not take much time before becoming one!
