In kidnergarten, my friend Warren brought a dead (petrfied? fake? Hey I was 5, i dont know) starfish to school to show me. He said that even if it was dead, if i touched it then it would flip over quicker than lightning and poison me. I didn't believe him, and I slowly reached my hand over... and WHAMM! he flipped it over onto my hand and I ran screaming to the other side of the room. Even though now i realize that HE flipped it -clever guy!- I still don't like starfish.
