Thread Name: BS: A (true) Jelly Fish story
Subject: RE: BS: A (true) Jelly Fish story
"Most jellyfish are not dangerous to humans but a few are highly toxic, such as the Cyanea capillata. Contrary to popular belief, the menacingly infamous Portuguese Man O' War (Physalia) isn't actually a jellyfish, but a colony of hydrozoan polyps."
And as gnu said, even the thought of getting stung by a colony of hydrozoan polyps--well, where is William Shatner when ya REALLY need 'em.
