Hmm.  I always envisioned those Jellyfish as being bigger... but then, 
the ones I've told stories about have been renegades at guard posts. 
Smaller size probably would be an advantage in hive minds.

Are there any other peers of Sharkasaurus Rex at the funeral?  Cosmic 
crown holders, that is?  Do the Dharma Brothers still have a crown?  If 
they don't, do they have any control over whether crown holders show up 
at a funeral?  Or might the crowns themselves decline to allow their 
holders at a funeral as long as a Cosmic Challenge is still on?

Turns out I'm an anally-fixated oedipal paranoid with 
south-of-the-border schizophrenic delusions...  But never mind, I've 
found me the ideal job.  I'm going to run for President!
