    Was Humpty Dumpty an egg?

    Just because he couldn't be put back together again does not signify egg. Maybe he was a snow-globe, or a Ming vase.

    There is no scientific evidence pointing towards him being an egg, so I think I will have to sit my kids down and straighten them out.

    Depends on the fish, but often they will just chill on the bottom rocks or some coral not moving much. They don't have eye-lids so you won't see them close their eyes. But I have seen many fish sleeping, just by looking at the bottom and seeing what's not moving.

    Once I thought a fish was sleeping so I went closer and realized it was just defending its nesting hole in the rocks. I swam really close to the fish so that we could clearly see each other's eyes, and the fish didn't move. Its eyes seemed to be popping out of his head, but he was so calm I could put my hand right next to him. There was a weird blue ribbon type fish waving around my legs the whole time too. I stayed there for nearly 3 hours hanging out with these two fish trying to acquaint myself. There were several other fish seemingly sleeping on the rock face I was floating above. I only noticed them after staring for 15+ minutes.

    I think ignorance about the ocean is so easy because so few people actually interact with the life there meaningfully.

    I understand the ocean very well, I live on the beach here in Key West Florida and found that almost every fish I've met is very good to eat!
