Here's an interesting idea, that will benefit divers, in regars to jellyfish:

Researchers Have Trouble Finding Jellyfish Stingees
Wednesday July 25, 2007

Imagine being paid to be stung by jellyfish. Then imagine doing it for free.

That's the kind of person Norwegian researchers are calling for to test a new sunblock that supposedly can reduce or prevent jellyfish stings, says a Torgrim Andersen, spokesman for the University of Oslo.

"You're supposed to get burned. If you're not, then the tests have been a waste of time," says Andersen.

Only five people have registered for the test, which is asking for volunteers over the age of 18 and have hair-free inner arms. One arm will be covered in ordinary sunblock and the other with a new one being developed by sun cream company AC-SunCare. Both arms will then be stung by jellyfish.

The compensation for this prickly endeavor? Three bottles of the anti-jellyfish sun screen.

Great idea, but who in their right mind who volunteer for this?   :shock:  and for the elaborate payment of 3 bottles of sunscreen? 

Yeah where do I sign up?   :ROFL:
