In summary, two teenagers survived six days at sea by eating jellyfish and seaweed after their small sailing boat was swept out. They were rescued by fishermen after being spotted clinging to the side of the boat more than 100 miles from where they had set off in South Carolina. The boys also said prayers to help them through the ordeal and quenched their thirst with sea water, although they were chased back

For more than 1,000 years, Asians have been eating jellyfish for medicinal reasons to treat high blood pressure, arthritis, bronchitis, gout and even some cancers. Research continues. Jellyfish is an ideal diet food because it is low in fat, protein, cholesterol and calories.

Did you catch the last line? :

"Jellyfish have a crunchy texture asians describe as `music to the teeth.'"

Great link, Math!

dared a jellyfish to go down your throat, but it refused,
Yes it lost its chance to win the 50,000 and become the jellyfish king, rule the world and all that good stuff that goes along with being king.
