In “Science Fail” (Telic Thoughts, July 31, 2012), chunkdz doesn’t think much of the artificial jellyfish we wrote about here:

Now I like bath toys as much as the next guy but really… if this can make it into Nature why can’t I seem to find funding for my own experiment?
The graphics are priceless.
