You might want to reconsider.
UPDATE: Is it just this blog, or does this thing look suspiciously like these guys?

Wow, that's 2 firsts today. And an almost first, except that Brainy types faster.

why would jelly fish need umbrellas? they're already wet, right?
Posted by: crossgirl | November 23, 2005 at 02:29 PM
More studies are necessary, but scientists believe preliminary results show the jellyfish originated in an episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants."

Wow..Sounds like those fishermen could be in a real jam...

I say we seed the waters with peanutbutterfish and breadfish and then everybody can eat, thereby solving the world's hunger problem.
Send the Nobel Prize to me, care of this blog.

I think it looks like Roseanne Arquette..
Posted by: Sean | November 23, 2005 at 02:55 PM
So good, it had to be said twice!
Posted by: southerngirl | November 23, 2005 at 02:56 PM
Personally, I thought it looked more like one of these guys.

Those jellyfish must REALLY taste bad if even the Japanese won't eat them!
Posted by: Guin | November 23, 2005 at 03:02 PM
I have the solution... Just rename it from Japan Sea to Jellyfish Sea and then no one will go fishing there. DUH. HELLOOOO :)
Posted by: gjcjax | November 23, 2005 at 03:28 PM
Gaaah! That was cruel southerngirl!

I'd love to participate but I've taken vicodin and I'm stoned.
But I'm very much enjoying the reading part.
So Long and Thanks for all the (Jelly)Fish.

Whenever you guys talk about earworms/earwigs I always think of Chekov in The Wrath of Khan; "They put creatures in our bodies..."
Posted by: Bumble | November 23, 2005 at 04:52 PM
Eleanor, you wrote that on porpoise..
Posted by: me | November 23, 2005 at 04:57 PM
Eeeeewwwww, Bumble! I've seen that movie a dozen times and I still can't watch that scene without *shuddering* and *cringing* with my hands over my ears.
Time for another glass of wine!

Eyecatching quote at the end of the article:
"We need to improve our equipment on the assumption that the jellyfish will be in the ocean."
Ya think?
Posted by: Stupendous Man | November 23, 2005 at 05:11 PM
Guin~ I know. I've only seen it once or twice, but it'll never leave my mind. *shudder*
Posted by: Bumble | November 23, 2005 at 05:23 PM
Are these things carnivorous? Maybe this solves the mystery of the missing chihuahuas.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | November 23, 2005 at 06:02 PM
It really looks more like a giant deviled egg that's been in my fridge for 8 weeks. Don't ask how I know this.
Posted by: Jillywilly | November 23, 2005 at 06:57 PM
They also kind of look like Ted Haveta-Grabher's hair.
Posted by: gfunksizzle | November 23, 2005 at 10:27 PM
Really I thought it looked more like this guy's hair.

but they could probably perform an awesome "Waltz of the Dangly Bits."

Silly humans... Those are hired to protect us during the fishing season!
