[munchlaxboy]

Can I be a judge? I'm practically here every day! ( Oh, and because Starfishes are shaped like stars!)

 

[Kreis]

becuase they are part of the fish family and since it resembles a star therefore it is called a starfish
(can i be a judge aswell?)

 

[D-Man]

because they are on sky and they look like fishes

 

[MagmaEmperor]

Some starfish are called sea stars because they look like stars.

Thats about the only answer I can think of...
Anyway if I became a helper what exactly would I be helping?

OFF-TOPIC Did you know Starfishies aren't Fish?
Thier name is Misleading...

 

[Endoplasmic Reticulum]

because their shaped like stars and they live underwater like fishes

 

[ESP]

They are shaped like a star and breathe underwater like fish.

When I wrote "helper" I ment Jugdes, but come to think of it, I could use some advertizing... you could also make shure that people follow the rules.

 

[~Shadow Espeon~]

Starfishes are called starfishes because their purpose is to be launched into deep space in the ever so popular game KILL THAT STARFISH!!!

(I am soooo tired...)

 

[KaMaKaZi]

starfish are called starfish because.... erm because they wanted to be?....
