Would you want to be rescued by this jelly?
Really just an opportunity to share this link to a robot jelly. It has been developed by US scientists and can be used in search and rescue situations.
What else could Robojelly be used for?

Well it’s US navy backed research – so I have a feeling it’s bound for a little more destroy than search. I can see them afixing an underwater mine to it and the little bugger stealthily swimming towards and attaching itself to a boat.
You may very well be right @Zensky (and hello lovely man. Haven’t had chance to say hi recently much). Jellyfish should only be used for peaceful activities. Well except those that can sting you to death.
Yep I am sure the bloody yanks will use it for evil purposes! Don’t they always! Oh wait, there was that episode in Darwin when the Japs were coming and in Townsville as well, but the yanks were probably just coming for R & R and were accidentally caught up in the fray.
I was a lot more upset by the article on the same page regarding the overuse of antibiotics and how hundreds and perhaps thousands of aussies are dying from superbugs that are completely resistant to even the most toxic antibiotic!
Well I have been arguing with people about going to the doctors for antibiotics to help heal a cold for years. However if doctors, who know better, prescribe them… what can you do? There should be more education about the correct use of antibiotics.
I have taken them very rarely in my life, but apparently the problem stems more from what we ingest in the factory farmed meats we eat. Also have you noticed it is almost impossible to buy dishwashing detergent or hand soap that is not anti-bacterial??? Practically every cleaning product you see is anti-bacterial. Then the sponges claim to be anti-bacterial. It really is a worry if you have to go to the hospital. Wasn’t there a big outbreak of golden staph or somesuch in Brisbane in the last few years? I know there were problems in Townsville. I am in Vic now and seems as if it is a problem here too. It is scary, you go the hospital to be cured and come out incurable!
Sorry didn’t mean to derail your question, but I did see that at the bottom of the page and it immediately caught my eye.
That’s fine. I don’t want to go into great detail here but a very, very close relative died a few years ago because of a golden staph infection she contracted after surgery. She was only 50. So I am acutely aware of the problem.
It’s absolutely another reason to use only free range meat and eggs. And plain old sugar soap for cleaning.
Oh no, my identity!!!
I just wanted to fit in and be a real jelly… :(
of course. it sounds pretty sexy to me.
With a little more attention to diet and exercise, he can have his way with me anytime.
Self fueling. That’s totally cool.
If I am drowning, I would be happy to be rescued by anything, no matter how grotesque it might look … even if it looked like my ex. rim shot
jelly…..would it make Bob a pb and j??
