As I sat watching the tide come in, I marveled at the seaweed's tenacity, clinging to the rocks. Seaweed takes a a real beating in the waves. Rumor has it that some of it makes good eating.

Silly joke (as told by the Vicar of Dibley):
Q.: Why did the lobster blush?
A.: Because the seaweed.

(I told you it was silly.)
