| Giant Alaskan Blob Mystery Solved |
| 2009-07-21 |
| That big, oily black blob floating in the Arctic north of Alaska? Perfectly natural, say scientists. "We got the results back from the lab today," Ed Meggert of the state Department of Environmental Conservation told the Anchorage Daily News late last week. "It was marine algae." No one in the area — whether biologist, Inuit hunter or oil worker — had ever seen anything like the strange stuff, which moved slowly through the Chukchi Sea last week between the towns of Barrow and Wainwright. It stank, trapped sea birds in its gooey mass and, perhaps most alarmingly, was pretty hairy.... Okay, Rantburgers, everybody sing along--follow the bouncing blob: Beware of the Blob! It creeps and leaps and glides and slides across the floor right through the door and all around the wall a splotch a blotch Be careful of the Blob! |
