  • diggB, on 11/02/2009, -1/+14In case you're wondering, it's a Southpark reference where the Japanese scream profanities before butchering helpless sea creatures with spears.

  • askantik, on 11/02/2009, -0/+7If only there was this website where you could search for stuff and when you did, the very first thing to come up was from some kind of like electronic encyclopedia that would tell you exactly what you wanted to know. Oh, wait!

  • hokie47, on 11/02/2009, -1/+7Ha it is great that a jellyfish can do more harm to a Japanese fishing boat than a bunch of Whale War pussies.
  • Junkyarddawg, on 11/02/2009, -1/+6Are you kidding? There is nothing which isn't eaten in Japan or China. Nothing.
  • IKORKYI, on 11/02/2009, -1/+61) A 400lb anything shouldn't "sink" a ship

  • milkmage, on 11/02/2009, -0/+3buried. jellyfish didn't have anything to do with it. same thing would have happened if they tried to haul too many goldfish. this is what happens when you try to lift more than you should.

  • MSUKate, on 11/02/2009, -5/+7Wow, where's captain Ahab when you need him?

    Seriously, sank a ship?!
  • jeremanrox, on 11/02/2009, -0/+2I for one do NOT welcome out new jellyfish overlords. Primarily bacause all i have to do to avoid them is not go into the water.

  • Lucas123, on 11/02/2009, -1/+3Obviously, very few people here remember "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". They probably think I was talking about the clown fish cartoon movie.
  • PhoenixReborn, on 11/02/2009, -0/+2Yeah, I was expecting a jellyfish attacking a boat, not some dumb fishermen trying to haul too much.
  • Ocyris, on 11/02/2009, -0/+2To hell with Flipper we need Echo, he's used to fighting off aliens and what not.

  • frequentFlyer, on 11/02/2009, -0/+2Yes. Go right ahead.
  • chthonical, on 11/02/2009, -1/+3Ever walked into a spider web? Same thing.
  • J0hnnyBlaze, on 11/02/2009, -0/+2giant monsters destroying japanese property...why does that seem familiar for some reason?
  • ReinMasamuri, on 11/02/2009, -0/+2It wasn't a GIANT jellyfish, it was a swarm of average jellyfish...
  • chikuten, on 11/02/2009, -1/+3"...loaded with giant Nomura's jellyfish." implies a net loaded with giant Nomura's jellyfish.
  • Stiler, on 11/02/2009, -0/+2Japanese boats have all the fun... this is just as weird as the cow that fell through a fishing boat several years ago.
  • Rammat2, on 11/02/2009, -0/+1In Godzilla movies? Apparently so.
  • swantamer, on 11/02/2009, -1/+2Too bad they didn't all drown. Thanks for destroying the oceans and desecrating creation.
  • rebrad, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1Wasn't this a movie on the SiFi Channel?
  • bjornski, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1lame

  • MrBenC, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1i for one welcome our new jellyfish overlords.
  • ParadiscaCorbas, on 11/03/2009, -0/+1I don't welcome them either; I was just surprised nobody made the reference.

    Japan can KEEP their 400 pound jellyfish. Seriously.
