Worldwide Silent Invasion

This is so very troubling...

The turritopsis nutricula species of jellyfish may be the only animal in the world to have truly discovered the fountain of youth.
Since it is capable of cycling from a mature adult stage to an immature polyp stage and back again, there may be no natural limit to its life span. Scientists say the hydrozoan jellyfish is the only known animal that can repeatedly turn back the hands of time and revert to its polyp state (its first stage of life).
Because they are able to bypass death, the number of individuals is spiking. They're now found in oceans around the globe rather than just in their native Caribbean waters.  "We are looking at a worldwide silent invasion," says Dr. Maria Miglietta of the Smithsonian Tropical Marine Institute.

In cases of starvation, physical damage or another crisis, "Instead of sure death, Turritopsis transforms all of its existing cells into a younger state."

What the F is this thing?

Big Butter Jesus

In the most delightful story of the day, a jesus sculpture belonging to a church in ohio was struck by lightning and burned to the ground.  This sculpture was referred to by area residents as "Touchdown Jesus" and more stupendously "Big Butter Jesus".  There was even a lovely ditty inspired by this sculpture, called "Big Butter Jesus".  The chorus is as follows:

Big butter Jesus
Sweet cream Jesus
Oh country fresh Jesus
Unsalted Jesus
Oh Promise Jesus
Imperial Jesus
Can’t believe it’s not Jesus
Oleo Lord.

Can’t believe it’s not Jesus,
Oh spread the word.
