Oh, I see. Well, in my experience, it all depends. If you imagine the sky is full of Spongebobs, each can hold a certain amount of water before it hurts. Once it hurts, Spongebob cries and that is what causes the rain.

Now, if you look up and see only one Spongebob, it's not gonna rain much. But if the sky is full of 'em, well you can guess what's gonna happen.

HTH.

I'm confused. Spongebob the worst programme but almost as bad as (so not as bad as) Family Guy, so Family Guy is worse than Spongebob so Spongebob, bless his square pants, can't be the worst programme on earth.:huh:

I agree if he is six feet tall. If, on t'other hand, he is only 2 feet nothing, then it's a different story, innit.
