Posted by michael on from the stay-away-from-the-black-oil dept.

jeffy124 writes "Recently there was a discussion about blobs in the sidewalks of Camden, NJ. The mystery has been solved. It's paraffin wax, which is used in industrial processes and in candles, and poses no health risks whatsoever. Some residents suspect a coverup, but then again, this is Camden were talking about."

  2. Blame Disney... by stefanlasiewski · · Score: 2, Funny

    Disney is coming out with a new movie called "Spots", which is about aliens who create mystious blobs on city sidewalks the world over.

    As part of the marketing campaign, Disney employees were going to paint spots on sidewalks in many major cities; to promote the movie via word-of-mouth.

    But since this is a low budget movie, they only made it to Camden...
