As I started this article I asked my partner, who has a biology degree, if jellyfish are animals or plants. she looked visibly upset as she explained which kingdom and phylum there are in, that they have nerves and local motion. then she roasted me for a while longer while continuing to clean up dinner…

anyway, thanks for the analysis. interesting as always.

I'd like to be a jellyfish

'Cause jellyfish don't pay rent

They don't walk and they don't talk

With some Euro-trash accent

They're just simple protoplasm

Clear as cellophane

They ride the winds of fortune

Life without a brain- Jimmy Buffet.
