Giant jellyfish sink 10 tonne trawler

A 10-tonne fishing trawler has been sunk by gigantic jellyfish off the east coast of Japan.

The fishing boat, called the Diasan Shinsho-maru, capsized as its crew was trying to retrieve a net with dozens of huge Nomura's jellyfish inside, UK newspaper the Telegraph reports.
Japanese waters have been invaded by an unusually high number of the giant Nomura's jellyfish — which can weigh up to 200kg — this year.
The three-man crew was thrown into the water off Chiba when the boat overturned, but was then rescued by another trawler.
A local coast guard reported the sea was calm at the time of the accident.
Nomura's jellyfish can grow up to 2m in diameter.
Sightings of the species off Japan's coasts were rare last year, but in 2005 a similar invasion of the jellyfish caused mayhem by damaging nets, injuring fishermen and rendering some fish inedible because of their poisonous stings.

Experts believe a decline in numbers of the jellyfish's predators, including sea turtles, may be behind this year's influx.

OK, there has to be a conspiracy theory behind the giant jellyfish story. It wouldn't be the CMR without it.

To be honest, I love odd news like this. It really doesn't matter to me, but I still find it incredibily interesting. Also, it is a break from the usual "bad news" that we always get through traditional news sources.

I think that the Bilderburg group secretly planted these jellyfish as part of their plans for globalization. THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS GOING TO BE JELLYFISH STINGS TO THE FOREHEAD!!!! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!!!!

Did I eat too much candy?

Didn't you know that a majority of Halloween candy is blessed by witches?

Being a witch is okay. They are mentioned in the Old Testament.

Of course, she was from Endor, so I guess we can make a biblical arguement for Ewoks, too.
