[AskMrScience]

"Belle et bonne", I'm guessing.

Thank goodness man-made sponges were invented; these creatures are actually quite endangered.

All he gets is fifty lousy bucks???

@kozmon0t Back in those days You could buy stuff for $50.

[kozmon0t]

@wingnutofcoolness yeah but nobody else usually stumps them. If they get nine "nos" but get it right, you still get 45 bucks. Stumping them should be worth extra.

I love Arlene's gradual, deep laugh (6:50). As if they wouldn't take it as a hint! They read into everything he says. It prompted a conference and Dorothy's head-tilt to the audience. "I'm sure it wasn't." What a hard job John has as the moderator, and he does it so well!

Thanks - I live in Tarpon and this was great to see

[wmlfan9]

Yes, Arlene certainly is bellybone, isn't she?

[SueBeaWho]

That was a really good one!!! i sorta forgot sponges are alive!! Dumb of me, I know lol! Now must read up on sponges!

Or watch Beneath the 12-Mile Reef (1953) starring Robert Wagner, Terry Moore, Gilbert Roland, Richard Boone and Peter Graves. The only film I know of about sponge fisherman. And its a good one too. You can watch the whole thing on imdb . com
