Saw this on the Times website this morning and had to mention it, bad luck hey? But the comparison to childbirth, just wondered what all the ladies thought?

Here's the story...

'In a case of extraordinary bad luck, a man sailing off the coast of north-eastern Australia dived into the ocean and face first into a tiny, but deadly, Irukandji jellyfish with a sting said to be as painful as childbirth'.

Plus they'd be too concerned about getting their hair wet to start worrying about a tiny jellyfish.
