It's closing bell at the NY Stock Exchange. Patrick, from Spongebob Squarepants, just rang the closing bell.

This would be a bit more noteworthy if it weren't for the fact that Spongebob himself rang the opening one. The Nickelodeon company figured their current flagship product was the way to go with opening/closing.

Still... somehow a giant semi-anthropomorphic sponge is not quite the image I had in mind for the bloke who throws the switch that starts up the heart of the capital of capitalism.


... oh gods I'm turning into a Brit again. 'Scuse me. Gotta go read some Damon Runyon or something.
