I heard jellyfish are popular in Asian cuisine. Maybe Americans will learn to deep-fry them and serve them at the state fair.

I don't like jellyfish. They're the reason I don't swim at the beach anymore.

I wonder how anyone can swim in waters that are prone to jellyfish. It seems too risky to me. You could die just getting stung.

I had a dream about jellyfish last night... seriously, this brought it back. they all had purple spots.... But anyway, not all are bad. dont get me wrong, the bad ones are doozies, but most dont affect us. of course, there are other things out there just as bad, like the Portuguese man of war.. the beach anyone?!
