    I got stung on the inside of my thigh by a jellyfish...it got caught in my boardshorts and stung the fuck out of me.

    I immediately peed and let the pee run down my leg...cuz that's what you're supposed to do for a jellyfish sting. Surprisingly it helped...but only for a bit.

    I think it was one of the most painful things that have ever happened to me. Jellyfish are freaks.

    I was at a beach a couple of days ago where the water was infested with jellyfish.

    I got to thinking, how do they move? Can they control where they are going or do they just have to follow the currents?

    I know, there's google, but I hate that shit.

    Some jellyfish are plankton, so they move with the current and can't control their movements much at all...

    Others actually can control the way they move...they use their tenticles to move, actually...sort of bob in and out, I suppose.

    There are 30,000 different kinds of jellyfish.

    Meh, no reason to be sorry...

    It's bound to happen for as much as I'm in the ocean everyday...

    Hurt like a bitch though.

    Wonder if that jelly had stinging cells? What is that called do you know?

    Some jellyfish don't have nematacysts (stinging cells).

    Actually that jellyfish was tame compared to some of the other creatures which lurked in the murky depths over 100 million years ago [​IMG]
