			== A random rumor I've heard a bit lately ==
			Allegedly, the reason the clones were never named on-air is because then they would be "new characters" and that would have some sort of legal repercussions, generally of the "Tom Kenny would get paid for six characters instead of just one"/"the show would violate SAG rules about booking actors"/"all the other VAs would get butthurt" or some other scenario. I don't think there's much truth to it, but it's probably worth looking into (if nothing else, it can go on the "urban legends" page.) [[User:Hooper X\|-hx]] 13:32, 19 April 2010 (EDT)
