If someone ever asks me for an example of a high concept book I'm going to say "Butt or Face?" Brilliant.

Thank you for enlightening us about barnacle penis size. My life will never be the same again as I’m not sure I’ll be able to stop thinking about that fact

Right? It's haunting. Truthfully I didn't know barnacles were animals (I guess I thought flower? Fungus? Who knows!) until I found out about their penises, so this is a LOT of brand new information all at once.

Haunting is the perfect word. This is haunting information. I am also not sure I even considered barnacles as animals? I definitely didn’t consider them having a penis - definitely not an enormous one?! The world never ceases to be fascinating. *googles more crustacean genitalia facts*

I think it's a matter of relativity. Like, they don't have 8-foot dingalings. It's just massive in proportion to their tiny bodies. BUT STILL.

Hahahahahahah I’m dead at the thought of a barnacle with an 8-foot penis. Don’t worry that isn’t what I interpreted. The relatively is what’s fascinating. BUT STILL INDEED.
