I went swimming this morning (May 23), wading through the Line of Scunge which is often a few feet from shore on a rainy day at Yung Shue Wan beach. Near the outer boundary I felt a pain. I looked around to see a jellyfish. So, there is a jellyfish within the shark nets at Yung Shue Wan beach. I do not think it is dangerous. I brushed against it and felt pain because many species of jelly fish, I understand, generate mild toxins in order to stay alive, to define their gelitanous existence as opposed to the void, to which they are close being made mostly of water.

But, as I continued my workout I reflected that according to Bill Bryson (A Short History of Everything) we are also mostly water (water water): 90%.

Also, what is that Thing which on a wet night, goes Gwaaaarp, perhaps as a love call, and to which another Thing replies, Gwaaarp? Is it the Giant Gwaaarp of Lamma seeking its mate?

Could it have been one of these?

Could be.

CALIBAN
Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.
