That's why this is happening. They're coming after YOU next.Quote:
I used to run around the beach and poke Jellyfish with my toy shovel when I was a baby.
Gameraaaa... Gameraaaaaa... Gamera is really neat, he is filled with turtle meat, we are eating Ga mer aaaaaaa.Quote:
They need to call on Gamera, the friend of all children who is really neat not to mention full of turtle meat!
When I was a kid, I pretended that I could summon Mothra.
So, there I was, age six, hula dancing and singing "Maaaasura" in a falsetto voice.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.

The jellyfish in South Padre were purple and looked like poorly inflated baloons.
There would be one on the beach every 20-30 steps. Gross.
Some observers blame heavy rains in China over the summer, which flowed out from rivers and propelled abnormal numbers of jellyfish towards Japan. Nutrients in its river water may have given them extra zip „ or overfishing has allowed the growth of the populations of plankton on which the jellyfish feed.
That would be my guess too.
The Japanese are responsible for a large portion of the illegal overfishing in the north atlantic, and I can only guess at what they get away with in their own waters.

Yeah that's why the Japanese dispute the ownership of unihabitable islands with just about every country surrounding them. If I were a pirate from Hong Kong I'd destroy Japanese fishing boats just on principle.Quote:
