“Jellyfish!”
Neatorama just posted a cool link to this National Geographic news story about a rare Rainbow Jellyfish. According to the report, “The jellyfish does not emit its own light, as bioluminescent creatures do. Rather, its rainbow glow emanates from light reflecting off the creature’s cilia, small hair-like projections that beat simultaneously to move the jellyfish through the water.” Awesome. This actually reminds me of a scene in the Wes Anderson film, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, which I saw again last night on IFC (great film, by the way) where hundreds of “Electric Jellyfish” wash up on the beach and Zissou’s crew run out to film it.
OMG it’s like a rainbow molar. Like I’ve always said, why are we searching outer space when we’re surrounded by aliens?
A gay jellyfish! We’re taking over the sea!
P.s. You can’t sit anywhere near this counter unless you have a reservation!
