Can one eat jellyfish (?).

It's only permissable if you have peanut butter fish as well...

Hey Squirrel King - Its too bad mother earth can't strike back more often but I'm afraid you're powerless in the face of 6,000,000,000 screaming consumers. Now if you could figure out how to start mutating some of your minions into something larger than a breadbox, you might have something there.

I was afraid of this. First the Russians and Chinese form an alliance. Now it's the squirrels and the jellyfish. This is a very serious development. Almost guarantees a 10. What's next? Probably some overtures to the gulls probably.

not comfortable with the news,

I wonder if FEMA has remediation plans for those suckers too... :-)

I laughed when I saw the jellyfish cause of the outage, and told hubby about the Squirrel King and his troops that we all have so much fun with. But did you notice the earthquake that followed the jellyfish outage by a few hours? The Jellyfish Blackout [doesn't that have the ring of history to it? The Great Jellyfish Blackout of 1999]... anyway... the Jellyfish Blackout happened at about 8 p.m. Friday night. The earthquake struck at about 2 a.m. Saturday - only 6 hours later. Chances are the Jellyfish Brigade... rather than being a disciplined attack squadron under the command of the Squirrel King, were actually lost at sea and wound up in the wrong place at the wrong time due to geomagnetic disturbances that were quake precursors.

Strong quake rattles Philippines, three dead

The tremor, which struck at 2:03 a.m. (1803 GMT on Saturday), had a magnitude of 6.8 on the open- ended Richter scale, the Philippine Institute of Vulcanology and Seismology said.
