The most venomous creature on Earth: the box jellyfish, Chironex fleckeri.
Even sober scientists are now talking of the jellification of the oceans. And the term is more than a mere turn of phrase. Off southern Africa, jellyfish have become so abundant that they have formed a sort of curtain of death, “a stingy-slimy killing field,” as Gershwin puts it, that covers over 30,000 square miles.

Great story but...
OMG!
What are we to do?
How many ways and times can "scientists" --most all of them lamenting a lack of funding-- get away with predicting the imminent man-caused end of the *gasp* world, only to have their elaborate theories shit-canned by reality's nature, yet still expect everyone to believe them?
I realize the hippies will lap this crap up like manna from Gore's green mansion, but geez, so many more seemingly sober folks do too.
Then I remember that 0bama was elected...Twice.

Must be a lot of food for jellyfish out there. I wonder what eats jellyfish? Should expect a big boom of them soon, too.
