Killer Jellyfish taking names in N.H.


"Rye, N.H., emergency officials received the call around 1:30 p.m. that 125 to 150 people, including children and a few adults, at Wallis Sands State Park had been stung by a jellyfish, Rye Fire Lieutenant Charles Gallant said. Park officials had tried to remove a large dead jellyfish from the water earlier in the day, but it broke apart and the floating pieces stung the children in the water, he said. The jellyfish was roughly the size of "a cover of a trash can," Gallant said. Lifeguards treated the majority of the children with vinegar and baking soda." via http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2010/07/ouch_jellyfish.html

So this must be the most bad-ass jellyfish in the game. It was the size of a trash can lid stinging anything in sight, kids, adults, pets. Then what happens when lifeguards and fire fighters tried to destroy it? Thing breaks into a million mini pieces like an alien and causes even more havoc. Thats how you go down like a champion for sure. God I hate jellyfish stings, they can really wreck any day on the beach in a split second.

P.S. How would you like to be the local on-scene reporter? What is this you're big break? Heading to the scene of the crime and getting dramatic shots of waves rollin in on a calm day at the bay? Get a real job, bro.
