  14. Re:SpongeZilla on X Prize To Offer Millions For Gulf Oil Cleanup Solution · · Score: 1

    Agreed, that would be the safer route, but i was kind of hoping to see SpongeBob get raped by Godzilla.or vice versa. Purely for the sake of saving humanity, ofcourse.

    Not even sure if these two can have kids and if they'd end up having the right size and soaking power. And even if their offspring had the right attributes for the job, not even sure if we could force SpongeZilla to dip into a spill if it didn't want to. Damn, so many variables. Now i understand why there is such a big reward.
