The Benefits of Having a Nerdy Husband

"Cubomedusae", from Ernst Haeckel's Kunstformen der Natur, 1904

Bryan was reading an article about the extremely poisonous Box Jellyfish and, craving more information, looked them up on Wikipedia. Not only did he find this gorgeous print, but now we know to carry a bottle of vinegar if swimming at a beach in either Australia or the Philippines.

Actually the vinegar trick works well on all kinds of jellyfish stings. Lots of locals here on the Florida panhandle carry it with them when they venture into the Gulf.
