The History In the 1860s, Napoleon III waged war against Mexico to remove the democratic government of President Benito Juárez. Napoleon wanted to create a new empire in Mexico that be friendly to France (and give them access to silver and other valuable materials). The timing of the American Civil War also meant that the United States would be unable to support the Mexicans. The Battle of Puebla, fought on May 5, 1862, was a mostly symbolic victory....

SpongeBob was created by Steve Hillenburg, a former marine biologist and science teacher who went to art school to study cartooning. Like SpongeBob, Hillenburg once worked as a fry cook at a seafood restaurant. Hillenburg liked drawing marine life and thought sponges were the “oddest of all” these creatures. But the lumpy shape of natural sponges didn’t feel right for the character he wanted to create. A sink sponge turned out to be perfect—it’s so clean and so square, just like the innocent and un-hip SpongeBob....
