Lion's Mane Jelly

Pass the jelly,
and be damned careful about it
“   Scientists have determined that some jellies have eyes that can detect light from dark and even some movement of objects in their field of vision. It doesn't seem possible that any living creature could have eyes, but NO BRAIN. ”

Arctic Lion's Mane

I know what you're thinking.  A massive tentacled creature that interacts, but has no brain =  a metaphor for congress.  Yes, but it also describes the Arctic Lion's Mane jelly fish (which makes me hunger for Chinese Mushrooms With Cellophane Noodles).

Well, "eyes" is a bit misleading. Light-sensitivity in cells is not unusual. Even plants may follow the sun during the day (forget what that's called), and some of 'em don't even have an Ivy-League degree.
