Come over here, my storm is calling
Then I spent the day feeling awful and listless, to the point of not even being able to stare at something reasonably mindless in the afternoon. I did take a quiz courtesy of the Monterey Bay Aquarium in order to find out what kind of shrimp I would be:
LE GASP! There's a shrimposter among us! You're a pelagic red crab, a.k.a. a tuna shrimp or a lobster krill—an enigma wrapped in mystery with a multifaceted solution to life's demands! You're a conscientious cultural chameleon, able to fit in with most any group without quite matching any of them perfectly. Adaptable, earnest, and with a great sense of humor, you bridge groups with your ability to understand their subtleties in ways they may not notice themselves. You’re the best of many worlds… or at least a functional amalgamation of some neat features.
There is, scientifically, no true definition of a shrimp. It's a common name applied to many different kinds of crustaceans, and not indicative of a true phylogeny. Generally speaking, 'shrimp' and 'prawns' in the Caridean crustacean infraorder are distinguished by a few physical features—but large shrimp are often called 'prawns' for marketing purposes, regardless of their taxonomy. When it comes to common names, 'shrimp' can mean anything—which works out great if you're shrimply looking to blend in and enjoy a life of shrimplicity.
They do look pretty snazzy. And presumably taste good.

I keep forgetting this weird historical fact, not so much because of the milkshake duck element, but because what.
