You think they're gross stuck to a rock....try having that stuff cling to you when you're in the water. Disgusting!! One thing about the water here in New England....all kinds of gross stuff. One day my sister and I went swimming at Third Beach in Newport, RI. When we got out, our bathing suits were filled (everywhere) with living moving creatures that resembled baby shrimp, you could feel them squirming. We ran screaming to the bathrooms...still not sure exactly what those things were, but thinking about it gives me the willies. Aren't there cultures that use seaweed and kelp for food?

I am, therefore I create.......
