GIANT JELLYFISH PICTURES: Japan's Nomura Invasion

Eat your heart out, Godzilla. A massive menace from the sea seems poised to invade Japan anew this summer, experts predict.

In 2005 Japanese waters were inundated with swarms of Nomura's jellyfish--like the pair seen above cruising off the coast of Fukui Prefecture in November 2007. The giants clogged fishing nets and poisoned potential catches with their toxic stings, costing coastal fishers billions of yen.

I invaded Japan once in 1863. I took the southernmost island, but then we signed a peace treaty. A life-time of sushi and a full apology in exchange for me going home. Good deal I think.
