Where are his eyes? Granted, one of my humbugs tried to bite off a tenticle, however, he was not successful in his attempt to attack. "Patrick" (starfish's name") held his own. Patrick looks fine, but the way I understand it, if he dies, he'll look just fine petrified as well. Should Patrick be moving alot?


Answer
Well, there starfish they really dont move alot. But like about once-twice a day they should change areas. Patrick awsome name (spongebob)
If you think he is dead get a stick or your finger (make sure its clean) and kinda poke him, not like hard just gentally. If he dosnt budge he is most likely dead. Hope it helps! GOOD LUCK!~~~!!!

What can you tell me about the furry community?

Please! NO harshness to this community. I just wanna know what they do, or what they are into.


Answer
In order to define what the furry fandom is all about, one must first define the word Anthropomorphic.

The word âanthropomorphicâ (literally âhuman-shapedâ) refers to animals or objects given human characteristics. Anthropomorphic animals include everything from the gods of ancient Egypt with their dog, cat, and crocodile heads, to the tool-using characters of the Sonic the Hedgehog video games, to the talking sea creatures of the SpongeBob Squarepants television series.

Anthropomorphic animals have been used to tell stories for centuries.
Only within the last two decades has an enthusiasm for anthropomorphic animals, or more commonly âFurryâ fandom, coalesced into its own distinct entity. Fans are found in all corners of the world, and come from all races, ages, and creeds. We are bound together across the most daunting barriers by our mutual admiration for these creatures of myth and legend who, by simple reflection, grant us a better window into understanding our own natures.

A large number of Furry fans are employed in the scientific or technical fields. A significant percentage have college diplomas and many hold additional or advanced degrees. This perhaps is what leads many casual observers to raise an eyebrow. âWhy would someone like this be interested in cartoon animals? Isnât that unusual?â If we look at the world around us, we will see that anthropomorphized animals are an integral part of our culture. We use them to represent our political parties, our insurance companies, and even our sports teams.

We talk to our dogs (and sometimes even imagine that they talk back [in their own way of course]). We put a âtigerâ in our tank. We cheer for mascots at our favorite sporting events. A casual observer may simply be unaware that it is only in the last forty years that cartoons and cartoon animals have been relegated to the world of children. Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and their ilk were once primarily targeted to an adult audience, their productions filled with innuendo and biting political satire. Furry fans today simply have not forgotten those roots. The average Furry fan is cast from the same mold as the science-fiction or sword-and-sorcery fan; all of us imagine strange and thrilling worlds and try to picture ourselves living in those worlds.

Today, Furry fandom is a distinct artistic and literary genre that is enjoyed by tens of thousands worldwide. We count among our ranks professional sports mascots, animators, cartoonists, puppeteers, artists, illustrators, and writers, as well as those who think that it would be a wonderful thing if animals could walk or talk like we do.

There are all different kinds of people who are active in the fandom, because Furs tend to be very nice, open, and accepting people, and this has also lead to a large number of social misfits (good and bad) looking for a place to fit in. The percent of homosexual persons in the fandom is around 36%, a number a lot higher then in the general population. Some furs have a particular paraphelia known as Transformation Fetish, where one is sexually triggered by the thought of changing one's body or becoming a different type of body, generally a product of low self esteem, although there are other causes. However, contrary to popular belief, the majority of furs do NOT participate in sexual activity within the fandom (known as Yiff) and some even greatly dislike the idea of yiff because of the bad rep it brings with it.

If you're interested in becoming a furry, a great website to start out on (especially if your a younger fur or one that dislikes or is uninterested in yiff) is Furry 4 Life. http://furry4life.org/ Its a smaller, G-rated community, age range 13+, which makes it easier to make friends, and it offers a lot of profile customization options. Here's a great resource for making a fursona (A furry persona, or anthro representation of your personality and intrests): http://www.squidoo.com/furry-fandom-fursona

Thanks for taking the time to read my answer, and I hope it answered any questions you may have had.
