![]() ![]() Lil Pump and SpongeBob’s ignorant and silly attitudes entertain and make people laugh.” J Price also added in a series of sound bites from the cartoon. Creating music is based off emotion and having fun. For Price, humour is what makes the song work: “I thought it would be hilarious to sample SpongeBob. On Pump’s “Ignorant,” featuring friend and collaborator Smokepurrp, producer J Price samples SpongeBob’s cutesy, slapstick theme tune. We see this in the mocking insincerity of Pump’s track, “On Larry.” There, he raps over a hard piano beat about SpongeBob character Larry, a weight-lifting lobster who wears teeny-tiny swimming trunks – “Walking to the strip, bitch I’m feeling like I’m Larry” – and Gary, SpongeBob’s adorable meowing pet snail, who Pump refers to in a similar fashion: “40 on my back, bitch I’m feeling like I’m Gary”. This light-hearted feeling is typified by Lil Pump, a human ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ whose self-referential phrase “I’m just ignorant” conveys an eye-rolling don’t care attitude of knowing superficiality. It’s the same as how everyone wears dad pants and trainers now.” ![]() Once Bay Area rappers and tastemakers started wearing them in music videos, it set up the show as an acceptable staple in the culture. They started printing SpongeBob on shirts and sweaters hoping it would bring people in. It came out of the hood boutiques or Chinese stores. By 2011 his toothy smile also popped up on a T-shirt worn in the background of The Rej3ctz’s “Cat Daddy” video, as rapper Bounce delivered the song’s hook: “Call me SpongeBob / stackin Krabby Patties / Bitch I go to work / Do my Cat Daddy.”Ĭhuuwee, an LA hip-hop artist whose Cookin Soul-produced SpongeBob rap “Bikini Bottom” has more than 240,000 YouTube views, puts it to me this way: “Growing up, we all had Jordan Dub Zeros with SpongeBob on the side and SpongeBob backpacks. Real heads will already know that Da Brat turned up to the 2002 BET Awards in a white SpongeBob shell suit and matching lunchbox. ![]() ![]() Be very patient, and do not try to hit the Boss Galaga in mid-flight it is very easy to miss the enemy and hit your own Fighter! Wait until the Fighter is within an inch of the bottom, line up with it and hit the Boss Galaga exactly in the center. It always follows the same pattern it heads for one side or the other, with one loop in the middle. If your captured Fighter still has its Boss Galaga, it will eventually swoop down on you with its escort. Some players use this as a expert's technique to store a captured Fighter. Be very cautious about shooting at the last wave of aliens when they enter! Your captured Fighter will appear at the tag end, then take its place at the top of the formation. But all is not lost it will reappear as the last ship to enter on the next entrance screen. It will disappear off the bottom of the screen and go away. If you shoot the Boss Galaga that captured your Fighter while it is in formation, eventually the captured Fighter will swoop down on you. For instance, you can shoot at an enemy to the side of a captured Fighter, have the Fighter and its escort swoop off and run right into your shot. Be very careful where you shoot when you have a captured Fighter in formation. If you shoot your own Fighter, you get 1,000 points, but lose the extra Fighter-you don't want to do this under any circumstances. Now one of your Fighters is in the enemy formation. ( Note: Never get captured when you're playing with your last Fighter.) Don't destroy yourself If you have another Fighter, you begin playing with it. At that point, the message "FIGHTER CAPTURED" is displayed and the Boss Galaga returns to the top of the formation dragging your Fighter behind. If your Fighter is in range, it is caught and whirled up to rest beneath the Boss Galaga. If your Fighter is not in range of the beam up field, eventually it retracts and the Boss Galaga drops straight down to return to formation.A strange sound begins, and a fan shaped blue energy field emanates from the bottom of the Boss Galaga.The Boss Galaga stops two inches above the bottom of the screen.During mid-battle section, a Boss Galaga peels off and dives straight down in a markedly different pattern from the usual one-loop off the side.By doubling your firepower, this maneuver can give you the opportunity to achieve the maximum bonus in Challenging Stages. One of the most interesting, unique, and useful features of Galaga is the tractor beam performed by the Boss Galagas.

Aside from the above mentioned Artificial Lightning, Earthquake Machine, and the Death Ray (a particle beam weapon, to be precise) he tried to sell to the Government, Tesla had plans (whether or not any were close to functional is up for debate) for Force Shields, Gravity Manipulation, Wall Phasing and Teleportation. You're just messing with us now, right?Ĭonjecture and conspiracy aside, some of the things that we do know Tesla was either working on or had plans for are quite terrifying. Rescued by an immortal time-travelling prostitute who took him away so he could continue his work? Say what? Caused The Tunguska Event with the help of Guglielmo Marconi while testing an experimental antigravity teleportation engine. Assisted by an Ancient Tradition of assassins reaching back to Biblical times? No. Faked his death and escaped to Soviet Russia? Doubtful. Artificial lightning? Never left home without it! (In fact, one of the highlights of any of his demonstrations was shooting lightning from his fingertips.) Earthquake Machine? Probably not. Everything else is very, very much up for grabs. The United States government covered up his inventions during World War I and World War II since they were scared that the German Empire or the Nazis would develop a superweapon from his designs.The corporate leaders of the time were scared of Teslas objective to invent free energy and took advantage of his business naiveté.Thomas Edison had such ability and knowledge he also made political connections and promoted his public image.An unfortunate tendency to make wildly enthusiastic claims about how every new invention would bring about world peace, provide limitless free energy or occasionally both probably didn't help. He concentrated on science and ignored the need to build a network of contacts. Tesla lacked marketing ability and business knowledge.This essay lists 4 reasons for Tesla's lack of public recognition. In recent years, his reputation has very much swung the other way as a new generation of writers and scientists rediscovered his inventions and research. Examples include having things named after him, receiving multiple Nobel Prize nominations, being on the front cover of Time Magazine on his 75th birthday, and New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia reading a eulogy over the radio for him when he (Tesla) died. But for most of the later twentieth century, not a lot of people knew him (although the good news is that recently, he has been gaining more and more publicity).ĭespite his relative obscurity later on, Tesla was well known in his own time. It is safe to say that without this man, the 21st century would not exist as we know it. He ultimately died alone in a hotel room after failing to sell a giant Death Ray to the US government. However, a combination of poor business decisions, economic trouble, and pressures from arch-rival (but not enemy) Thomas Edison eventually led to the end of his good fortunes, and he acquired obsessive/compulsive tendencies and other eccentricities. He's also credited with a lot of early theoretical work on electromagnetic radiation that was later expanded into radar. Other patents of his include the equipment for radio, vertical take-off and landing gear, fluorescent light bulbs, and a radio-control mechanism that contained the earliest practical example of a logic gate. Born to Serb parents in the village of Smiljan (Austrian Empire at the time, Croatia today) and immigrant to the United States, Tesla is best known for his eponymous electrical transformer, the Tesla Coil, closely followed by his development of the first feasible alternating current power generator, ultimately built at Niagara Falls. ![]() ![]() The awarded projects seek to help attract and keep residents, expand economic opportunities and create a culture of civic engagement. ![]() The foundation received 4,500 submissions in 2017 that were narrowed down to just 144 finalists in January.

Not as easy to recognize as the size difference, the two species have very different coats. ![]() One fun fact that distinguishes between sea and river otters is their coats. While the river otter tops out at around 30 pounds, the sea otter can reach up to 100 pounds. The sea otter is larger than the river otter. If you know some fun facts to quickly identify the river otter, you will be able to tell the difference between river and sea otters more easily. Identification of the different types of otters in the wild can be a challenge. ©/Kathryn Farley River Otter vs Sea Otter River otters are able to spend as much time on land as they do in the water. Outer guard hairs protect the insulating underlayer. Rather than shedding seasonally, they can regulate their temperature by fluffing their fur to trap air, which acts as insulation. Their water-resistant fur must be groomed frequently to provide protection and warmth. Instead, they rely on a thick double coat. Unlike many warm-blooded animals that spend time in cold waters, they do not have an insulating layer of blubber to keep them warm. See all of our entertaining and insightful animal articles.

These otters have short, powerful legs with webbed feet. Their ears are small and set close to the skull. They can close their nostrils, which keeps water out as they swim. They have long, narrow bodies that taper to the point of their tail. The North American river otter has adaptations that allow it to spend as much time in the water as on the land. For more accurate identification purposes, the American species were given their own genus, made up of four extant and one extinct species. These animals, as well as other American species of otters, were formally included in the Lutra genus. Lontra canadensis, the scientific name for the river otter, comes from Lontra, which is the genus for American otters, and canadensis, which means “of Canada”. One of the most significant fun facts about this animal is that it is considered an indicator species, meaning its presence, or absence, can be used to determine the health of a particular environment.
