Jellyfish Swimming Is Mixing the Oceans

eviltangerine writes "A new article from LiveScience suggests that marine creatures, such as the jellyfish, may contribute as much to ocean mixing as wind and tides. Wired is also covering the story and includes a video of the jellyfish in action. From the article, 'The mere act of swimming implies that some water travels with the swimmer,' said CalTech engineer Kakani Katija, co-author of the study in Nature Wednesday. 'Drift applies to all animals, to anything with a body.' No word yet on when the jellyfish blender is to debut."

    Should have died. But you know what. I bet 72 hours of straight anal rape by prison niggers will do. You'll probably die of shock or semen poisoning but you would have made 27 niggers happy. Now put on a wig, a tight skirt, and bring your tears.
