There's 3 different types of barnacles found in BC waters/on beaches - acorn, gooseneck & whale - the latter grows on whales' bodies.

Jeff "never puts away anything, especially oven mitts" Cliff, Bringer of Nightmares 🦝🐙 🇱🇧🧯 🇨🇦 @[email protected] ·"One day, the Raven invited the Grizzly Bear to go fishing with him. Before they went, the Raven secretly caught a salmon and cut it up to use as bait. But when the Bear asked him what he was using, the Raven claimed to have taken his own testicles.
He urged the Bear to do the same, and the Grizzly reluctantly agreed to be castrated. As a result the great Bear died, overcome by the Raven's superior wit" - #Tsimshian / #Haida / #Tahltan / #Nootka / #Tlingit story
