A proud and confident genius makes a bet with an idiot. The genius says, "Hey idiot, every question I ask you that you don't know the answer, you have to give me $5. And if you ask me a question and I can't answer yours I will give you $5,000." The idiot says, "Okay." The genius then asks, "How many continents are there in the world?" The idiot doesn't know and hands over the $5. The idiot says, "Now me ask: what animal stands with two legs but sleeps with three?" The genius tries and searches very hard for the answer but gives up and hands over the $5000. The genius says, "Dang it, I lost. By the way, what was the answer to your question?" The idiot hands over $5.

The jellyfish has survived without a brain for over 100 million years. There is hope for much of mankind yet!

And there is a medicine made from jellyfish that is supposed to improve human brain functions.

Is it for sale? It would make a great gift for several people I know.

That so-called "idiot" doesn't qualify for that appellation. "Idiocy" means unmeasurable intelligence which that example proves false. Maybe "rube" or "under educated" would be a better choice.

The difference? The jellyfish just go on doing things as they do but mankind tries to change things.
