High speed imaging captures nematocysts sting...

Thought you guys would find this interesting if you didn't already see it... in short, scientists have finally been able to record a nematocyst firing off from a jellyfish (stinging). They characterized it as one of the fastest cellular processes in nature and used a frame speed of "1,430,000 frames per second". Pretty amazing.
