    Wow, that was a cool, if scary link!

    I liked this bit at the end (boldface type by me):

    The most poisonous jellyfish is the Australian sea wasp, or box jellyfish, with enough venom to kill 60 people. Wearing tights is an effective defence
    That just struck me as being funny, can you imagine everyone swimming in tights, lol?

    The lifeguards do wear tights in north Queensland, for this reason. The box jellyfish is one of the most lethal animals alive, and just a slight brush by one tentacle will cause you to die a painful, screaming, horrible death. If anyone's stupid enough to go in the water there, they run the risk. So yes, the lifeguards wear tights just in case.

    We're men, we're men in tights. We roam around the forest looking for fights.

    The part that made me go "HUH?" was where they mentioned someone had managed to "make tofu out of it"? How, I'd like to know. That's some crazy alchemy lead-to-gold shit right there. "POOF! YOU ARE NOW A SOYBEAN". How would "jellyfish tofu" taste? Yeek.

    Ugh. I've had a near-bad experience with jellyfish once. I was on a trip to China and was in Taiwan at the time. I was staying in a town called Kaohsiung and so myself and my friend thought it would be cool to say we actually go swimming in the South China Sea (Formosa Straits actually). So since they had lifeguards and a beach, we figured it would be safe. We jump in the water, which was actually quite clean and warm and enjoyed a swim for about a 1/2 hour or so. We were coming out of the water and THEN the lifeguard (who happened to speak a little broken English) yelled at us and said for us to watch out for jellyfish. We turn around, and bobbing in the water were thousands of the little suckers. We completely got lucky when we came out as an enormous wave of them were starting to wash in. Another five minutes in the water and we would have gotten seriously hurt. Why the lifeguard waited until AFTER we were out got us a little pissed but jeez did it freak us out.

    Ain't modern technology great! If we can make bread and noodles with out carbs, jellyfish tofu should be easy.

    What do you expect? They eat crackers made from seaweed, and even just dried seaweed, sometimes, for chrissakes! So jellyfish tofu--sure, why not?

    Not that I'm messing with you, I think it's weird too...
