For fans of Nickelodeon‘s Spongebob Squarepants, marine biologist Christopher Mah recently shared an image of “real life” SpongeBob Squarepants and Patrick Star. Taken by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration remotely operated deep-sea vehicle, the pair of sea life were spotted on an underwater mountain called Retriever Seamount, around 200 miles east of New York City and more than a mile below the Atlantic Ocean.

The reports note that two suspects pulled off a jewelry store heist making off with between €2 and €3 million EUR ($2.37 and $3.56 million USD) with no witnesses simply because the Belgian action star was in the vicinity.
