The HalfLife reference is interesting: can't believe barnacles made all the way to pop culture. I did not know about the Victor Hugo factoid: I remember being 7 or 8, watching one of those TV shows about Mozart's life and learning he composed his first musical pieces at the age of 5. I thought: "I'm already 7 ( or 8 ) and have not done anything yet". Well, you've just given me a little more of a breathing room with that VH info. Thanks Denilson.

As for 'barnacle', I wouldn't have known what they were if it was not for their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnacle_(Half-Life)" rel="nofollow">weaponized appearance</a> in HalfLife. I wouldn't want to eat those. Excellent posting.I felt the same reassuring message when I learned about Victor Hugo being 60 years old when he wrote Les Miserables.
