Sponges can, cats can’t
September 10th, 2007

Sponges can, cats can’t

When I say sponge, what I mean is the living type, not the dead type you find in your bathroom… blending that would also be similar to blending a cat.

    That’s awesome…I wish I had the powers of a sponge.

    SPONGE MAN! He can’t be killed, he will reform himself! Unless you set him on fire, then maybe he can be killed! Sponge Man is not clear on the anatomical properties of sponges!

    I bet if you separated out all the blended sponge bits, they’d each turn into a new sponge, too.

    Now that’d be a good trick for a cat.

    “George got a new Mixmaster.”

    Reminds me of this:

    Sadly I don’t have a blender, so I haven’t tried this yet.

    Hmm, my experience with EAC parties has informed me that the latter is the case with babies also.

    So, remember to set aside the roast BEFORE you start preparing the cocktails.

    That was the power of Cool Jerk, from the minicomic Cool Jerk and Homo Gal by Sean Bieri. He got his power from planarian worms, though. Homo Gal’s only power was being a lesbian, and arguably that wasn’t even a super power at all. She did have a gun, though.

    Ewww. That deserves a cat-scratch even for thinking of such a thing!

    Strangly enough I was discussing sponges with someone this week and the question asked was ‘how deep would the ocean be if there was no sponges’. Adam I know your scientific mind will sort this one for me.

    This was on BBC’s “Quite Interesting”

      They were blending cats again on QI? That Stephen fry, he’s a torment.

      I first encountered the ‘blending sponge experiment’ whilst studying cellular orgainsation – it’s a good one to roll out in front of bored freshmen.
