What's all that white stuff?

So today Heal the Bay came and set up two big salt water tanks with sea cucumbers, starfish, sea stars, giant snails, sea urchins. And you can put your hand in the tank and pet them. So of course I'm petting them. The sea cucumbers are really, really soft like velvet. So soft you almost can't feel them. The sea urchins are spiny and they grab onto your finger. I notice that there's all this white stuff coming out of one of the sea urchins. So I say to the Heal the Bay person "What's all that white stuff?" "Oh, it's reproducing." Apparently all the "stimulation" caused it to reproduce. Nice.

And when I got back to my desk someone gave me the biggest blueberry ever. I swear it is the size of a quarter. A mutant.
