833. Curaçao gets to the Point

Per wikipedia, “typically 10 to 30 centimetres (3.9 to 12 in) in length, although the smallest known species is just 3 millimetres (0.12 in) long, and the largest can reach 1 metre (3.3 ft)… sea cucumbers have no true brain.”

Unclear why they exist… so we call them: “lol’i awa”… dumbass of the sea.

Probably originating from the Dutch, “lulletje rozewater”.
