The ochre jelly vanishes in a puff of logic. |

And wait, ochre jellies engulf you?
Also note, the punchline has been pinched from Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and fails to be anywhere near as eloquent as DA's Babelfish Proof of the Non-Existence of God.
In the case of an ochre jelly engulfing Dudley, this is merely an adequate representation. The same goes for all the other engulfing creatures, vortices, clouds etc. In the case of jelly, you could say it's a 5ft by 5ft cube - plenty of room to engulf at least the majority of you - however a more realistic representation would be simple an ochre @.
In short, big deal :D
