Let me tell you why barnacles are cool.

1. They are pretty colorful when you look closely.

2. They are filter feeders so they can like this to try to catch food particles flowing by.

3. (Kids hide your eyes) They have the longest penis to body ratio of any creature on the planet. Because they are sessile they have to be able to reach quite a distance to deliver sperm to a nearby female.

SOME BARNACLE’S FACT

  • There’s barnacles.
  • They got shells.
  • They got cement glands.
    • They are full of cement.
      • They are not full of cream.
  • Some times the shell makes it hard for them to FUCK!

    • “Barnacles probably have the largest penis to body size ratio of the animal kingdom.”

      • I don’t like that.
  • Some times they live on walls or big pillars.
  • Some times they live on whales.
    • Sometimes the whales don’t like it. But sometimes they don’t care.
      • Do you like whales? I like whales. 
      • Whales are not full of cream. Whales are full of magic.
  • They got NO heart and NO gills but I THINK they got souls.
    • I think they got bum also.
      • It wasn’t clear.
    • They got eye.
  • The babies are like little larvae that swim about until they get old and find a nice spot. Then they go to this nice spot and they think “hmm, that’s a good spot. i,m going to make cement here.” 
    • I think that’s right.
      • It wasn’t clear. I didn’t look into it much though.
  • They look silly when they’re enjoying a snack.
  • There’s this kind called Goose Barnacles, or sometimes Gooseneck Barnacles, and they’re called that because they anchor on to things using these big meaty tubes that look like goose necks.
    • They’re also called that because in the Old Days people used to think they would transform into geese, or that geese would pop out of their shells, & that’s how geese are made.
      • I wish that was how geese are made. I think that sounds delightful.
      • Geese are not full of cream. Geese are full of grease and rage.
  • Snails eat them a lot.
  • Fish eat them.
  • Limpets eat them.
    • Don’t know what a limpet is.
  • Crabs eat them.
  • Sea stars eat them.
  • I used to think seals eat them but I guess not?
    • Do you like seals? I like seals.
      • Some seals are full of cream.
  • You could eat some barnacles, if you want.
    • But only some of them.
      • If you want.
    • You are probably not full of cream.
      • I hope?
      • But you COULD be full of barnacles.
