Real Monsters

I didn't even know there WERE giant jellyfish!

If there were GIANT peanut butter fish then the world would make a whole lot more sense to me. Sigh. Only regular size peanut butter fish.

"Seaside communities in Japan have tried to capitalize on the menace by developing novel jellyfish dishes from tofu to ice cream, but for some reason the recipes have failed to take off."

That's perhaps my favorite quote, although "They're like aliens" is just as good.

Great. Now I'm hungry.

Thanks a LOT, Stefan, anonymous and K.

*shudder* Far and away the worst thing about jellyfish is that they're really on the ragged edge of being organisms onto themselves, they're almost more of a symbiotic colony of independent cells.

Think "slime mold".

Actually, you know what, don't do that, there's no reason to do that.

Think "baby bunny" instead.

Can I think borg instead?

That just makes me think of "borg babies", which was such a crappy excuse for a TV show.

I can't think of a better cure for hunger than slime mold.
