Learned that sea urchins have a single eye and now I’m physically ill
[Two photos, the first showing a sea urchin and the second more zoomed in on a small orange part in the middle of its body.]

The ocean, the sea creatures, it’s a whole other world down there. I’m practically an expert, you know. Ask me anything about marine life, and I’ll give you a convincing answer. It’s like I’m swimming with the dolphins of knowledge, baby!
So regarding this, one day, there I am, waist-deep in the ocean, when I stumble upon a distressed sea urchin. When out of nowhere, I whip out a golf ball – you heard me, a golf ball! I save the day by removing the obstruction from the butthole of a sea urchin.
Settle down, George.
