Barnacles are awesome. People always get shocked when I tell them they're crustaceans, and even look like little shrimps at one point during their life cycle. If you sliced a barnacle open, it would look like an upside-down shrimp, planted head-first on the ground, with it's "feathers" being it's legs it once used to swim. Barnacles even have eyes, although they're incredibly small and completely stuff inside their shell, so they're basically useless. Just leftovers from when they were once free-swimming larvae. Also, their larval stage has 2 parts: Nauplius, and Cyprid. Shrimp also have 2 larval stages, the first is also called a Nauplius, but the second is called Mysis. Then they become Shrimplets, which is the cutest name for a baby arthropod I've ever heard next to spiderlings. Also, I just want to reference Tadpole Shrimp, which you guys have a video on (It's awesome btw), they're very interesting because they pretty much look like their larval stages their whole lives. I guess that's part of what makes them so primitive and ancient? I highly encourage anyone who is interested in barnacles to go look up pictures of their larval stages, they look pretty neat. The Nauplius stage was shown here, but not the Cyprid stage.

The reason why the myth of goose barnacles transforming into barnacle geese lasted for so long was because it was a convenient way of getting around the Catholic prohibition of eating meat on Friday. If the barnacle goose was just the adult form of a barnacle, it was "technically a fish" and therefore could be eaten on Friday.

Can't believe the Skyrim (set in another planet full of magic) Barnacles (clustered, harmless, edible) is closer to real life than Half-Life (set in either modern day or alternate future Earth) Barnacles (often grown individually but can be clustered as well, very harmful with gaping teeth and hanging tongue, definitely not edible)...

When I worked in a Tampa, Fl hospital in 1983, a Latino woman was transferred to our hospital from a smaller hospital south of us. Her house was on a channel. She was getting into or out of their boat and scraped her leg on barnacles on the dock. She developed Hepatitis and was in bad shape when she came to us. Her skin color was orange. She died a few days later. You were lucky.

Barnacles has always been a mystery to me until now.
