This may be the most random topic, but i have a few interesting facts.
The largest Jellyfish is longer than two school buses parked end to end.
The smallest jellyfish could fit on a contact lense.
Jellyfish are 95% water, and have bone, brain, or heart.
However, they do have a nerve web.
The most dangerous type of jellyfish is the box jellyfish.
Box Jellyfish venom is potent enough to kill an adult male in 10 minutes.
Some Beaches in Australia have boxed-off sections so swimmers can swim safe from box jellyfish.
Some jellyfish glow.

Think you can do better? post jellyfish comments here!

Supposedly, Jelly Fish don't make real jelly. ):

But they have been around for over 650 MILLION years! They outdate both dinosaurs AND sharks.

That's crazy. I've always been scared of jellyfish. And, anything that can sting, I guess. Plus, the tentacles creep me out. *shudders*

Well, most are found on ocean water. Lucky for me, I live in Michigan. So if your not by any oceans, you should be good.

Apparently it's delicious on Krabby Patties. Especially the blue jelly, but that's an incredibly rare find.

I have yet to taste
jelly from jellyfish
but from seeing it in Spongebob
it looks like it'll taste well

Meh. Jellyfish do looks cool
but don't they sting?
I believe I remember seeing
something on the nature channel about it

And there's apparently some place called Rock Island with 'golden jellyfish' and on the website, it says you can swim with jellyfish.
I never even imagined that possible as you would probably get stung like crazy...almost like a swarm of slow-moving water bees :P

'golden jellyfish'


I wonder how much they'd cost... Maybe 1,000?
Is it possible to go JellyFishing like in Spongebob?
