Seven Pounds

No, these jelly fishes weigh nothing near 7 lbs. But I am reminded by the movie of the same title because the jelly fish was a central, well, "character" of the movie. See, that movie is somewhat a classically cheesy love story about boy-meets-girl, boy-falls-in-love-with-girl and boy-gives-his-heart-to-girl. Literally....

The jellyfish is a magnificent primitive creature. Over ninety percent of it is water! Just water! And despite it having no brains, it is deadly. Fascinating, really. One of the things on why I had dabbled on the possibility of being a marine biologist growing up....

But that is an entirely different story all together.
