Shoot! I haven't gone into any water but the bathtub since Jaws.

I do not want to know what that diver is attempting to do in the upper-right-hand picture.

I forgot to add: Wouldn't Killer Jellyfish Explosion BAGNFARB?

180 seconds? Wow, that's like almost 3 minutes!

Well, until they grow legs we do have a slight safety net called "land".

That diver looks like he's counter-invading the jellyfish. Or collaborating with extreme prejudice.

Jellyfish can see color and don't like red?
Next summer my swimsuit is going to be fire engine red and resemble feeties pajamas...

Coming soon to the Sci-Fi channel..."Killer Jellyfish at Bikini Beach" -- a sure-fire Emmy winner!

I read somewhere that, of the ten most poisonous creatures on Earth, fifteen are found in Australia.

Wonder if the Geico gecko know about this?

That's unconfirmed. When asked to reveal his sources, the author turned purple and started blathering about antivenoms.

I just have to say that the photos with this article are incredible!

I thought jellyfish only had a nervous system, and no brain. Where do the "four brains" come in???

we obviously need to step up our research into genetically engineering more peanut butter fish to counter the threat...

Personally I refuse to swim any deeper than 9,000 metres. And if I were a jelly-fish i would be...strawberry. (Smothers brothers)(Tommy, to be exact)

With a name like Chironex fleckeri, it has to be good!

Nature is so unfair. A jellyfish gets four brains while Rush Limbaugh gets none.
