Spongebob Squarepants

Did you know that each of the main characters in Spongebob Squarepants are based on one of the seven deadly sins? The seven deadly sins are greed, envy, sloth, pride, wrath, gluttony, and lust. It's pretty obvious who's who, but here's a guide just in case. Mr. Krabs loves nothing more than money. He represents greed. Plankton continually tries to steal the secret recipe to the Krabby Patty. He's envy. Patrick has once won the award for "doing absolutely nothing longer than anyone else". He's definitely lazy (Sloth). Sandy Cheeks is extremely proud of her home state Texas and loves being the only land creature in Bikini Bottom. She symbolizes pride. Squidward is filled with rage, and he directs that onto Spongebob and Patrick. He expresses wrath. There is also Garry, who signifies gluttony, since there are many episodes about feeding Gary, Gary eating the couch, and even Gary becoming obese. Last but not least, it's time for Spongebob. Spongebob is an optimistic, annoying, and fully positive character who is lustful for life itself.

Most Dangerous Tree

Did you know that a tree can kill you? A Manchineel tree in the Caribbean has won the title of being the most dangerous tree in the world. The sap coming out of its bark causes skin to blister and rash. If someone stood under it while raining, the sap would fall onto the poor person and make their skin break out. Smoke from burning can also get into someone's eyes and cause blindness. For this reason, in ancient times warriors would coat their arrows in the sap to ward off enemies. Not only that, but the Manchineel tree also grows infected apples. Don't be fooled by their deliciousness- when eaten, extreme ulceration in your mouth and esophagus will cause major pain and in some cases death. Disney's poison apple is found!

I've attached a link below of a guy who ate from the tree:

The Proboscis Monkey

Did you know that the Proboscis Monkey was once worshiped by the Egyptians and believed to be special to the gods? That's not the only reason this monkey is unique. Their long noses and huge bellies make them the most distinct primate in the world. Why do they have such humongous noses you say? It is said that, though ugly, the nose is meant to attract females by allowing them to make a louder, bolder noise- sort of a roaring, squealing, and honking sound( Below is an attached link where you can hear an audio of them talking). It can also be used as a snorkel in the water for swimming. In addition to their odd noses, their stomachs contain a bacteria that can actually kill poison in their foods. They can eat whatever they want! Would you want to be a monkey?
