It's Jellyfish Week at bookofjoe: LED Jellyfish Mood Lamp

No sooner did Flautist wax eloquent last evening about her newly hatched lust for a taste of jellyfish ice cream than my crack research team happened on this little number, which might be just the ticket for creating the perfect ambience for your jellyfish ice cream fete.

From the website:

LED Jellyfish Mood Lamp — Dancing Desktop Jellies

Blackbeard was just about the most ruthless pirate ever. His management style was unique, to say the least. If one of his crew misbehaved, he would drop them in a large tank full of jellyfish and delight as the jewels he kept at the bottom of the tank reflected different colors into the ballet of agony that played out before him. According to the infamous pirate's diaries, it really calmed his nerves, too. Wow. Well, while we don't recommend all that for your office, there is something we can take from this story: colorful jellyfish are relaxing.

This desktop tank holds three jellyfish which "swim" around the tank (thanks to a gently contrived current). In the top of the tank are 6 bright LEDs, which let you set the mood. You can either have them blend softly from one color to the next, or stop on your favorite color. Either way, the jellies are happy to frolic in their kaleidoscopic, quiet menace. And if one of your subordinates ever acts up, just remind him or her about the Blackbeard story... and let them know there's room in your jellyfish tank for a hand or two. Sometimes threats are all you need. Arrrgh.
