Urchin's shouldn't compete in staredowns. It's not fair because they don't need to blink.

They've seen a lot of the inside of my foot, then.

Owww. Not sure which is worse--having someone step on your (multiple) eyes, or having someone's (multiple) eyes jammed into your foot.

Ouch. *cringe*

Considering how much they hurt, excuse me for not feeling much sympathy for the urchins there.

I just spent a lot of the day staring at urchins under a microscope. Tomorrow, when I go back to work, the urchins are going to be EVEN MOAR AWESOME.

I should print off this article and bring it in for the urchins to read...

When you stare into the abyss urchin, it stares back into you.

So, basically, their phylum now needs to be spelled "echEYEnodermata"?
