Whale sharks, which can grow over 40 feet long, have learned how to suck fish from the fishing nets in Indonesia. Sonic The Hedgehog was modeled on a combination of Michael Jackson and President Clinton! Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! Was written by Sammy Cahn and Jules Styne in Los Angeles on one of the hottest days of the summer of 1945.

Well, the hottest days of summer are certainly “frightful” weather.

Hmm… while Sonic’s “attitude” does resemble Clilnton’s somewhat, he was designed in 1990 and the game was released in 1991, before Clinton was president.

what? Sonic was drawn in a style to resemble old school cartoon characters such as Mickey Mouse and Felix the Cat, in what way does he resemble Jackson and Clinton? Also , WHY would he be based on Bill Clinton?! He was created in 1990 by a JAPANESE person, WAY back at the beginning of his presidency. I guess if you extend it to his basic personality traits there is a stronger connection to Jackson, especially the music from his games and the way he acted in the early cartoons, but I still don’t know wtf the Clinton thing is supposed to be.

“The shark reminds me more of Congress siphoning offSocial Security , highway trust funds and anything else they can get their grubby paws on!” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After I read your comment, I tried to imagine the ‘do nothing’ Congress with shark’s teeth — and you know what? It wasn’t that hard.
