Who Doesn't Have 'Normal Fingers' Then?

Hundreds of "stunningly beautiful" blue sea creatures have washed up along parts of the Welsh coastline. Velella velella, commonly known as by-the-wind sailors and closely related to the Portuguese man o' war, have been spotted on beaches across Anglesey, Gwynedd and Tenby.

The only 'stunningly beautiful' things to be found on Welsh beaches. 

One woman who found one of the free-floating hydrozoans on Tenby South beach said it was "like a crystal".

Ah, yes, that famously jelly-like substance, crystal. 

Marine specialist Frankie Hobro, of Anglesey Sea Zoo, said the creatures were beautiful but warned people not to touch them due to their sting.
Although their sting is generally considered "very mild" in comparison to Portuguese man o' war, Hobro advised people not to touch them. "You probably wouldn't feel it through normal fingers because human skin is fairly thick," she said.

I knoe it's the Welsh, but c'mon man, they have normal fingers! Don't they?
