quoth wikipedia: The rainbow-light effect seen in daylight on ctenophores is not bioluminescence but merely diffraction of ambient light by the beating comb rows.

I was fascinated by them when I studied inverts

Thank you for opening my eyes/ears to Kent (Kent - Kärleken Väntar)! I like to listen to non-english music a lot (mostly German, some French and Spanish) and I am always looking for more. I ordered a CD (from Sweden) and have spent much of the day listening to their music (and strumming along on the ukulele when I can, since most of their songs have chords and lyrics on Kent's web site)

Kent - Kärleken Väntar

Nice song, easy to pay on the ukulele but not available on iTunes (US or Sweden) dagnabbit!
[CD on order, thanks eBay. BTW, go to Kent's You Tube channel and many, if not most videos are not available: "This video is not available in your country"
You can see them at their web site and on you tube from other submitters. I've spent much of the day listening to their music]

From Wikipedia: The Droste effect is a Dutch term for a specific kind of recursive picture, one that in heraldry is termed mise en abyme. An image exhibiting the Droste effect depicts a smaller version of itself in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. This smaller version then depicts an even smaller version of itself in the same place, and so on. Only in theory could this go on forever; practically, it continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows, which is relatively short, since each iteration exponentially reduces the picture's size. It is a visual example of a strange loop, a self-referential system.

Memories of a 4th of July. The head of the Fire Department thought it would be a great idea to kick off the fireworks with a hydrogen baloon. It was more than they bargained for--blew out the windshield on a city vehicle and damaged the Chief of Police's hearing. He got a little time off, I think, but still has his job. Hasn't tried it again though...
