    Default Happy World Jellyfish Day!

    You know things have gone too far when....

    On World Jellyfish Day, donate to Oceana to support healthy oceans

    This bullshit of making dates official for XYZ interests has turned me against whatever it is 'they' are promoting.

    Why? It's just part of the dance.

    I didn't click the link, but I have to assume there are too many jellyfish and we are encouraged to eat or kill more of them to support a more balanced ecosystem. I like sushi, but I don't think I've ever seen jellyfish on the menu. Hmm. Well, I guess I'll just kill all of them I see at the beach instead. Some do sting after all.

    Years ago, the marine biologists renamed "jellyfish" to "jellies" because the name was a misnomer - they weren't fish.

    "Starfish" were renamed to "sea stars" too.

    A group of jellies is called a "smack".

    Your factoids of the day brought to you from an ex-docent and diver at Ocean Journey [now the Downtown Aquarium].

    Ps. I'm kinda surprised that NOAA is still calling them jellyfish.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...

    Who's idea was it to make national sandwich day a date that can fall on a Sunday?

    Credit TFOGGER : Liberals only want things to be "fair and just" if it benefits them.
    Credit Zundfolge: The left only supports two "rights"; Buggery and Infanticide.

Waste your time making you ask permission for things you have a natural right to own. "Anyone that thinks the communists won't turn off your power for being on COAR15 is a fucking moron."
