The entire population of Japan is in a panic and the Japanese government has asked for United Nations assistance in dealing with the invaders from outer space. They have also asked that people remain calm and stay indoors while the Japanese military attack the giant jellyfish by air and sea.
If the situation does not get under control, then the Japanese government will ask that nuclear weapons be used on the invaders.
Don't believe me? Well here's proof! The UPI reports:
HIROSHIMA, Japan, March 9 (UPI) -- Giant jellyfish, thought to be from Chinese waters, have been floating into the Sea of Japan and wreaking havoc on the Japanese fishing industry, officials say.
Millions of the creatures, each weighing almost 450 pounds with a bell reaching almost 7 feet across and trailing a tangle of long, stinging tentacles, have moved into the Sea of Japan every summer since 2002, LiveScience.com reported Wednesday.
Armadas of giant jellyfish, Nemopilemanomurai, probably originate in the coastal waters of China, Shin-ichi Uye of Hiroshima University said. Uye said he has documented the movement of young giant jellyfish from Chinese waters into the Sea of Japan on currents, and the growth of these jellyfish along the way.
OK, well, I made up the part about the jellyfish being from space... Oh, and, I also made up the part about the people panicking and the Japanese government sending out the military and asking the United Nations for assistance.... And, I suppose, the part about the nuclear weapons was a bit "over the top."
But an invasion of giant jellyfish! What a great story, eh?
God, I love Japan.
Sell 'em back to the Chinese. They love eating jellyfish. That's probably the best solution...
