Spongebob Turns 10!



That's right, nerds, rejoice! I'm pretty sure that Spongebob is Nickelodeon's biggest, nerdiest, and most optimistic character ever. Invader Zim's Dib might be smarter, but Spongebob is classic nerdyness. As you can see, I chose a picture of him sporting those awesome jellyfishing glasses.

So, in the spirit of nerdy goodness, what makes Spongebob so...nerdy? First of all, look at how he's dressed! It screams geek. Second, he watches hold TV shows as though they're brand new, arranges his desk in a way that's almost reminiscent of Mr. Monk, and has an obsession with karate, even though he's no good at it.

You also have to give props to the show for showing kids that you can have a good job that you love even without a college education. That's not to say that college is bad, but I think that too much pressure is placed on getting into college. Heck, the only college educated character in the show (that I know of) is Plankton, who is reportedly 1% evil, 99% hot gas.

Just here wishing Spongebob a happy birthday. Hope he's got many more to come.
