It's not like she doesn't have knees and toes. If the kid was an amputee then it would have the funny.
Those are very big gnocchi.
Comment from original thread:
For anyone curious, this is a nudibranch from the Melibe genus - with this species (probably Melibe viridis) found, amongst other places, in the waters around Bali (original video). It's rather unusual in that, despite appearances, isn't a filtering out morsels from the ooze like, say, superficially similar sea pigs; rather it's an active carnivore. This is very unlike most of its relatives, which are grazers or only hunt very slow-moving critters such as other nudibranchs. This species, along with its close relatives (inc. the oddly named dinosaur nudibranch), specialises in hunting teeny shrimp and the like by smothering 'em with their expansive oral hood. Tiny hairs around the rim then detect prey, signalling it to contract, trapping the unwary victims in the fleshy pocket where it will be promptly nommed. Here's
another view.
Bit like you just minding your own business, and someone throwing a parachute over you, before dragging you to your doom. Eek!
EDIT: They're not as big as it might look in the GIF! According to this source this particular species grows upwards of 12cm (4.7in) or so.

Neat. Though to be honest, I thought they were much smaller than 4.7 inches in the gif! As in I thought this was magnified.
Damn fine way for a farmer to thank a group of firefighters, if you ask me - but then, I'm also fairly open to the concept of the barter economy and couldn't honestly say I'd turn down fresh, homemade sausage in form of payment regardless of what my side of the deal had been. Crap. I just realized I'd be willing to accept colorful stories from someone's past in trade for basic living requirements, were I purveyor of such. I am such a fucking hippie.
Some of them take paid passage, you just have to be willing to stick out the entire journey.
