Yeah. I recognized it, but couldn't resist the stick of poking. :)

Did you take the pic?

Yeah. The other day there were dozens washed up. Now I'm wondering how safe it is to swim out there. :-\

ooohh those things are super dangerous. The larger ones can actually kill a man and I think they still sting after they die

The other day there were tons of them! I'm scared to go swimming in the ocean now. Like I ever do, but still.

probably the winter tides. You remember my bro that plays guitair, he surfs, he's been bitten by a lot of jelly fist and one man o war. The man o war got his ankle and it was soo swollen he used crutched for 2 weeks, and this was right before he went to hawaii to surf, my mom told him if it didn't get better she wouldn't let him go, the swelling went down but he still had a few problems but he would use crutched or a limp around mom, so that he could go on his trip.

I want to know who killed

Over in Aussie land, they call them Blue bottles. I don't know if the ones from down Portugal way are worse, but our ones (which look identical) give you a nasty sting which results in red lash looking marks on the skin - I don't think anyones ever died from one though. My mate had one with it's stingers go up his swimming shorts. Quite funny when you look back on it. I think the trick is pouring vinegar on your wound? Urinating on it might help too - and if not, would still be a good excuse to piss on your mate whilst they're writhing around from the sting.
