Lucky 13

Just to tell everybody who cares, >:D ate toast last night around 6:30 p.m. Otherwise, he has practically dropped of the face of the planet...uh...blog. Thank you Marisa and the Marble Sail for your impressive research on Santa. My advice to Marisa: escape quickly. (The anti-SSS always shows up two and a half hours late; the faster you escape, the sooner they show up.)

Anyway, my major topic for today is the Jellyfish Ambassador! I put the name in purple because he/she seems to have a preference for purple jellyfish. Really. Check it out:

So we'll start off with some definitions. These are all from dictionary.com.

The-
(used to mark a proper noun, natural phenomenon, ship, building, time, point of the compass, branch of endeavor, or field of study as something well-known or unique)

Jellyfish-
1. any of various marine coelenterates of a soft, gelatinous structure, esp. one with an umbrellalike body and long, trailing tentacles; medusa.

2. Informal . a person without strong resolve or stamina; an indecisive or weak person.

Ambassador-
1. a diplomatic official of the highest rank, sent by one sovereign or state to another as its resident representative (ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary).

2. a diplomatic official of the highest rank sent by a government to represent it on a temporary mission, as for negotiating a treaty.

3. a diplomatic official serving as permanent head of a country's mission to the United Nations or some other international organization.

4. an authorized messenger or representative.

Now, we must assume that the fourth definition of 'ambassador' is the one that applies to our particular interests. His or her intentions are far from diplomatic; thus the other three are ruled out. And I doubt he or she is involved with the United Nations.

Now 'jellyfish' is the term that really intrigues me. There are two definitions and we only have two facts that may or may not give us this information. First off, the Jellyfish Ambassador is escorted by the "Man of War jellyfish". Now there is, in fact, a variety of jellyfish (1st definition) that is called the Portuguese man-of-war. However, to be fair, the jellyfish ambassador did not specify whether the escort was Portuguese or not. This leads us to believe that this phrase relates to a different definition. You see, a man of war is also a type of ship. So the term "Man of War jellyfish" is more likely to be a group of weak or indecisive people that are trained for operating such a ship.

Now our second hint is the two pictures. Now these ones clearly point to them being jellyfish of the first definition. However, these pictures were posted by an ambassador. And ambassadors are (or at least should be) masters of public relations. If this person possessed such skills, then they would realize that pictures of weak and indecisive people would be unimpressive. Therefore, the credibility of all similar claims as to the definition of jellyfish by said ambassador is very doubtful.

I can't say much about 'the'. It's pretty straightforward.

I guess the only way we'll solve this problem is to gain information from Patrick Suanda and Reper Stone who have seen said jelly fish.

Until next time.
