Jellyfish

Around 2000 Jellyfish wash up on shore in Hawaii:

I wonder why this event happens after a full moon??? Sounds spooky!

Has anyone here ever been stung by a Jellyfish?

It seems like it happens a lot there. I bet it probably has something to do with tides in that area. One of the articles linked on the side says it's a few days after their mating cycle, also. That's a whole lot of jellyfish, but it seems like something that should be predictable if it happens that much. I have to wonder why the beaches aren't closed around the time the jellyfish should be expected to show up.

I've been stung before, not in awhile. The worst one I ever had was a jellyfish actually got into my bathing suit and stung me. Yeah....that felt great :cry:

Jellyfish are awesome (but if you have been stung, I understand having an opposite opinion.) I have fond memories of going to Cape May, New Jersey when I was in like...7th grade, walking along the beach, and poking the washed-up jellyfish with sticks. :lol:

Last finished Pokémon game: Shield

Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation

Me and my younger brother used to do the same thing. It was funny because after the tide went out and we left the beach I wonder what all the people would think when they seen sticks sticking out of jellyfish heads. :lol: They were all dead though because they need to stay in the water to live obviously :wink:
