Do you need to ask? Of course a jellyfish sinking a boat is a sign of the apocalypse, or something. But…only because of this:

Jellyfish Crop Circle
“600ft jellyfish crop circle found in Oxfordshire field
Without the jellyfish crop circle last summer, the boat sinking would be just another interesting aquatic news story. Sort of like news stories about a total of eight severed feet washing ashore, all in the same area. Mysteries of the deep, so to speak. And stories about crop circles would be merely interesting agriculture stories — without a jellyfish making news headlines.
I’m not a follower of crop circles, although I know a lot of people are. I like my conspiracy theories’ plot lines peopled with terran entities, you know, like humans native to earth. There’s too much speculation about the extraterrestrial origins of crop circles for my taste.
I can almost grasp the concept of the president delegating his authority to a Chinese-American Secretary of Commerce so that he (the SoC) can bribe the Chinese with US missile secrets not to bankrupt the US — yet. I can *almost* see that happening. See? Human story peopled by people. I like stories about my own kind.
But as soon as you say that ETs left a jellyfish crop circle then, five months later, arranged for a jellyfish to sink a Japanese fishing trawler, well, I start thinking about Douglas Adams’ dolphins leaving earth, and politely composing a thank you note for all the fish. What are the odds?
I have no idea who’s behind crop circles. I enjoy looking at pictures of them. I even downloaded the software from HalfPastHuman.com to make them spin. Many of them are beautiful and they’re all somewhat mysterious looking. But, what the heck?
Is there a planet of jellyfish who are warning us of what awaits us, if we don’t quit putzing around with wars and weather modification and iPhones? How big are these highly intelligent, artistic, galaxy hopping jellyfish? What do they want us to do? I mean other than for us to stop overfishing and polluting the oceans.
If aliens didn’t leave a jellyfish crop circle then get one of their buddies to sink a boat, it must be that earthly jellyfish can live out of water long enough to make a 600 foot crop circle.
Either way, I feel like we’re in an episode of South Park, and that’s pretty bleeped up right there, dude.
