Rare White Sea Cucumber Looks Like My Brother's Poop

Cuc

White sea cucumbers bring good luck. At least that's what fishermen in Hagi, Yamaguchi believe. This rather large, 20-cm long one was found in late Feb in the Sea of Japan and donated to a local museum. The white ones, unlike the brown and black ones, are not edible. And they're also spiky-looking.

This picture actually reminds me of a time when my brother was a roly poly little boy showing off his milk-guzzling skillz. My parents and I were like, "Ikki! Ikki!" (Drink, drink!) and my bro downed like half a dozen glasses of milk. When he was done, he passed out on the floor. Half an hour later, he woke up, said "MAMA I need to poo." And my mom took him to the bathroom. A few minutes later we were all standing around the toilet bowl, gaping at the snow white lump of poop floating in it. Kinda like this sea cucumber, but without the spikes.

That's... probably the best story I've ever heard.

Woah...had no idea excessive milk consumption could do that.

If you think that's bad, imagine what a McDonald's green mint shake did to me when I was a kid.
