It looks like a jellyfish. It swims like a jellyfish. But, the tentacled artificial creature above, dubbed the "Medusoid," is actually created by scientists at Caltech and Harvard with rat cells:
Nick Collins of The Telegraph has the story: LinkIt is able to mimic the swimming movement of a jellyfish thanks to muscle cells from rat hearts which were implanted onto its silicon frame and grown into a pattern similar to the muscles of a real jellyfish.
By applying an electric current to a container of conducting liquid, the scientists demonstrated they could "shock" the muscles into contracting so that it began to move through the water.

Lebron James: HORSE
David Kalb: 0
It looked like dunking was not allowed in the game. Lebron would have won handily if it were allowed.
And I'm guessing Kalb can't dunk. Which means if James dunked it every time, he would have won. Obviously that wouldn't be fair since Kalb has physical limitations preventing him from dunking.
But yeah, Kalb trained himself to be a pro-HORSE player, and he won pretty easily. Were they to play a game of 1-on-1, I think James would probably win.
Also the 2 to 0 is likely to be 2 HORSE games won to 0.
Just like in most real life endeavors.
