Nikhil and Mona were newlyweds. Nikhil thought this would be a modern marriage, meaning they would each play equal roles. So, the first morning after their honeymoon, he brought Mona breakfast in bed. However, Mona wasn't at all impressed by his culinary skills. Looking disdainfully at the tray, she snorted, "A poached egg? I wanted scrambled!" Undaunted, the following morning, Nikhil brought his new bride a scrambled egg. Unfortunately, Mona wasn't satisfied. "Did you ever stop to think that perhaps I like variety?" she snapped. "I wanted poached this morning!" Determined to please her, the next morning, he brought her two eggs….one poached and one scrambled. "Here, my darling, enjoy," he said cheerfully. Mona was infuriated. "You scrambled the wrong egg!" she screamed.
What’s 6 feet wide, weighs 440 pounds, and can ruin your whole day? If you’re a Japanese fisherman, the answer is weird monster jellyfish named Nomura’s jellyfish ( Nemopilema nomurai ), or, as the Japanese call it, echizen kurage . The gigantic creature can wreak havoc on fishing nets and their contents, destroying the nets and poisoning the catch. Even nuclear powerplants aren’t safe: Reports describe the jellyfish being sucked into pumps that draw seawater to cool the reactors. Echizen kurage have shown up in Japanese waters in increasing numbers in recent years. The population surge of 2005 was particularly bad, affecting the salmon , yellowtail , and anchovy fisheries . But the mass of them gathering now in the Yellow Sea of China is the biggest ever, and eventually ocean currents will deliver them to Japan’s doorstep.
