    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.

    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.
