Everything in NK looks drab and lifeless. What a creepy place.

btw, is that a liquor store?

On hand, always the note takers, must write everything down that dear leader says. They haven’t discovered audio recorders yet.

I came to this thread knowing a FReeper would post that pic.

Thank you for not disappointing. =)

They are not active at night to conserve energy when food sources are less. Plants do this and they do not have a central nervous system.

This study is crap science. I hope it did not have a government grant.

Last summer we were in a diving bell studying these things.

As well as swimming with them some days during our beach vacation.

Fun fact: If you stomp on a freshly washed up jellyfish at night with your sneaker, it will glow blue.

LOL I am a stickler about certain things...Look at the lab coat on the moron in the middle...mis-buttoned and sleeves that are way too long...no doubt dragging in all the lab chemicals...Sheesh.

No doubt Rocket Man's inspection party was issued lab coats for the photo op.

Rocket Man's coat is completely unbuttoned. And he is sitting down totally relaxed in the visual center of the photo. It is clear he is Number One.

My guess is the dude on the right is the highest ranking after Rocket Man, his coat being loose. Until Rocket Man decides to eliminate him with a howitzer.

...rest upside-down on the sea floor...

When they wake up and turn over, wouldn't that be called a jelly roll?

The source of the article is a Indian newspaper. A “local man does well “ story. Making India great again !

My wife refused to go because she has a mental thing. When we arrived the summer before it was closed because of strong winds. It's cool. They take you down, give you a lecture and a 3D movie (with 3D glasses) to watch on a screen. Lecture was educational but also the guy was funny.

Today is my wife's BirthDay. Going shopping now and then picking our daughter up from school to go eat. :)

You are probably correct on all counts.

That's what I get for not going to the source. It wasn't apparent to me it was an Indian paper, I dare say they write English a lot better than they speak it.

A few years ago I had some doctoring done by a couple Indian fellows. They may have been good doctors but I couldn't understand a word they said. I think one said I was gonna die and the other said I wasn't. If that's the case I'm pretty sure #2 was correct.
