If This Wouldn't Make You Look Stupid, No Gelatinous Zooplankton Would

Share
Lord knows I love a good jellyfish hat as much as the next person who loves a good jellyfish hat, but this, this is not a good jellyfish hat. In fact, this is quite a bad jellyfish hat. And I do not wish to wear it. Also, I would like to note as a matter of Cnidarian physiological accuracy, jellyfish do not have eyeballs. In fact, not even all of them have the proper ocelli within their hydrostatic skeleton with which to sense sunlight. So this hat is completely fucking misleading as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks to Jensy W for the tip!

  1. Its 'eyes' look like nipples, too! Jellyfish don't have those either. hahaha

  2. You are hysterical. Someone ended up in my Etsy shop from your blog and I find that truly frightening. I just hope I never find one of my things here! rofl

  3. I'm with Jensy. When I saw the picture, the first thing I thought was, "That kinda looks like the torso of a sunburnt toddler."

  4. Oh I am crying I'm laughing so hard, I love this blog! And I really hate jellyfish so I highly doubt I'll ever buy it - even if it didn't have weird ass eyes on it.

  5. It would be a sad day indeed if hundreds of these washed up on the beach after a storm.

  7. But it would match so well with my anemone shoes and protozoan ear-muffs.

  8. I'm sure this thing glows in the dark too... think of the heart attacks it will cause!

  9. That has a sort of penis-ness about it. Did you find that a briss?
