The venom of Irukandji jellyfish results to Irukandji syndrome. This syndrome was first documented by Hugo Flecker in 1952. The symptoms includes severe pains at various parts of the body (typically excruciating muscle cramps in the arms and legs, severe pain in the back and kidneys, a burning sensation of the skin and face), headaches, nausea, restlessness, sweating, vomiting, high heart rate and blood pressure, and psychological phenomena (such as the feeling of impending death). Once a victim is stung, it will take an average of 30 minutes before the Irukandji syndrome sets in.

Here's a documentary of the Irukandji jellyfish.

Florida's 32 Stories Highrise Condo, One Tenant

Sunday, August 2, 2009

Located in Fort Myers, Florida, this 32 stories highrise condo has only one tenant. This is just one example of how bad economy in the US took a toll in the housing industry.

Victor Vangelakos and his family bought one unit here four years ago when the US economy was still solid as steel. Now, they have the whole building to their own as most of the other tenants in the 200-unit condo didn't close on their contracts and others have transferred to an adjacent building owned by the same company because more people live there.

"It's a beautiful building," said their attorney, John Ewing, who is representing 27 others who made deposits on units. "The problem is, it's a very lonely building."

When the Vangelakos' travel from Weehawken, N.J., to spend a week or a few days in their Florida home, they have exclusive use of the pool, game room and gym, but they miss having a few tenants around.

"Being from the city, it's very eerie," Vangelakos said. "It's almost like a scary movie."
