Jellyfish are freaking SCARY. The bigger they are, the more you can see all of the foreign and freaky guts pouring from their insides, and the closer you feel to the center of the sea where there are thousands of living things without faces and you have no idea what they are thinking but they likely want to eat you. Yeah, deep sea fear. I have this thing.
Anyway, you can easily see why it gave me the shivers when I saw this story over at the Telegraph about a fishing boat that capsized near Chiba as three men tried to haul in a fishing net full of Nomura's Jellyfish -- giant jellies that can weight up to 200 kg and grow up to 2 meters wide.
The three men were rescued by another nearby fishing boat and not, as I would most deeply fear, sucked deep into the heart of a mass of giant jellyfish to be used for all sorts of alien undersea experiments.
Man, I new these things were big but I didn't think they would be THAT heavy.
