I was today years old when I learned they aren't jellyfish... Well, guess I am one of the lucky 10k

    I’m 99% sure that’s a picture of a blue bottle, not sure what a man o war is.

    They hurt like a bitch too. Swam across one while snorkeling in Florida a few months ago. Had a couple tentacles wrapped around my arm. Not fun. And flared up again 2 weeks later. Also not fun.
