Poor dead pelicans. Pathetic dead dolphins. Stupid boiled sea turtles. So sad. So whatever. What about us Portuguese Men )' War? We're in pain too. But we don't have any highly paid lobbying groups running boo-hoo ads. So no ones cares. OK. So we're poisonous. But we're awesome! We're siphonophores- colonies of individual lifeforms. When we croak, a universe croaks. (For God's sake- I'm dying!) The blanket octopus sometimes tears off our tentacles and uses them to defend itself. Betcha didn't know that. (Me too.)
Say what you want about Rall’s cartoons, but they do seem to generate the most interesting discussions.
