  7. Doesn't the barnacle's penis extend about 20 times its shell length? Good to know honey doesn't spoil, because we've got some in the fridge I think we've had for about five years.

  9. Total strike out today. I was thinking either sugar or salt for the answer of not spoiling. And I bet female barnacles are scared...
