Fun little thing I found, this is a reply to Vi Hearts video about Spongebobs house, by the background artist of the show. I suggest you first watch the video: http://vihart.com/blog/spongebob/Then read the reply and finally look at the pic: http://imgur.com/5TuEwThe reply: Hi Vi, OK, I guess the jig is up. It only took 14 years, 8 months, and about 16 days since I designed SpongeBob's house before I was called out on its fraudulence. And, to be honest with you, I'm tired of living a lie. It's time to come clean and make some changes for the better. So, in the interest of truth and justice, I've made some slight alterations to the design (see attachment). Also, I've attempted to ferret out a few interesting proportions and relationships that have existed in the geometry of the design since the beginning. The one obvious correction that I've made is to the angles of ascension of the clockwise and counterclockwise spirals. You will find that they now follow their proper, naturalistic course. Also, notice that the third, implied spiral formed by the intersections of these spirals is now also correct. Throughout the course of the show, the number of rivets on the windows has varied between 5 and 6, so I've standardized it to 5 (see design notes for explanation). And, the number of rivets on the doorframe fluctuates wildly. So, I've standardized that number to 13 (see notes). Anyway, keep up the good work! Come by for a tour of the studio the next time you find yourself in Burbank. -Kenny P. P.S. I love your videos, and, you just happened to have posted the SpongeBob video on my birthday. Synchronicity! Oh, and I forgot to point out that I laid the design out on a golden rectangle!

She is just concerned about the math, not the biology D:

It's rather strange to start complaining about it, but nice that people are still caring about having their math right though

She is a mathemusician, it's her job to care.

About math being right in a tv show which noone takes seriously? That seems to be a rather lame job. All the other stuff she does is awesome though

Hey, if you get payed to watch cartoons and find wrong maths in them.

But the very point of the majority of cartoons is that they are unreal and the laws of physics and maths do not apply.

Or we should just stop caring about math in cartoons....
