Some wonderful properties have been discovered in the eye of a small and poisonous jellyfish, and you want the straight version, PZ Myers has it.
But what struck me first was a description of the jellyfish from the lead researcher, in the New Scientist: “These are fantastic creatures with 24 eyes, four parallel brains and 60 arseholes”
It seemed to me that we were here on the brink of a much greater discovery. there are so many things that fit that description —
- newsdesks;
- yahoo groups;
- successful open source projects (the failures have fewer brains).

is this a golden ratio, which will be replicated across all social structures?

Further example welcome.
