    Patrick, is that you? What are you doing so far away from your home? We hope you have a ride back because if not, it's going to take you a while to get back to Spongebob and the others.

    ARCAXNINEV · 9 hr. ago Possibly a water spout. There's occasions where it rained fish miles from the water. It gets pulled up and brought into outer space. After it becomes sentient, it decides to attack lawns

    How come this starfish gets to go to outer space, and we can't even afford to take a vacation? Where can we find one of these water spouts? We'll pass on attacking lawns though because we're already sentient.

    Clamdigger13 11 hr. ago · edited 9 hr. ago Likely a bird picked it up and tried to it. People will find shells dropped by seagulls similarly to this.

    GingerCatGang - 7 hr. ago. Seagulls. It happens to us sometimes or other sea critters dropped in our yard which is a 3+ hour drive from any ocean. You must be under a sea bird's flight path. Or your neighbors have a weird sense of humor.
