Slashdot Mirror
Huge Unidentified Organic Blob Floating Around Alaska
Z80xxc! writes "The Anchorage Daily News reports that a 15 mile-long blob of unknown, 'gooey,' probably organic material is floating past communities on Alaska's North Slope. The US Coast Guard sent pollution experts to investigate, who determined that it was not an oil spill or other type of pollution, but were unable to determine what it is. A sample is currently being analyzed by experts in Anchorage, while the blob is following the current northwards."
Too obvious?

Let's see. RingTFA says "A mysterious glob of unknown material up to 12 miles long has appeared off Alaska's northern coast." Later, "spotted a long strand of the stuff and followed it for about 15 miles, shooting video from the air." Slashdot headline says "a 15 mile-long blob of unknown, "gooey", probably organic material"
Reading is FUNdamental!
The article stated it was "up to 12 miles long" and that a team "followed it [by helicopter] for about 15 miles." Granted, the average digestee probably does not care if the blob devouring him is 12 or 15 miles long.
I question democracy as a suitable way to form a government if she does that and yet STILL gets votes. Because then it's obvious that stupid people must not take part in important decisions, like, say, forming a government.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
She wont.
Unlike Al Gore, what the parent describes is not Palin's M/O. But just for the sake of argument. If she did pull a stunt like that, then yes...I would agree with you.
Life is not for the lazy.
You know the conservative attention whore
Is she really, or does she just get mentioned by everyone, everywhere pointlessly, such as in a thread discussing something weird in the ocean?
You might be *part* of the problem, sir.

assuming the Japanese don't kill the giant lizard who always saves them, God(zilla) knows why the hell they always try to kill the lizard who always saves their ass.
Cus every time he wakes up and there's no three-headed monster from outer space or whatnot to fight, he throws a tiff and destroys Tokyo. And most of the time when there is a monster to fight he ends up destroying Tokyo anyway.
He's essentially a giant, radioactive and even more antisocial Demolition Man. Can you blame the Japanese for not wanting him around?

Well, the foolishness of quitting a hit show early on with people whispering in your ear how awesome you are, followed by a permatanked career, most definitely was a well-established physical entity by that time. Just ask Suzanne Somers, Farrah Fawcett, or McClean Stevenson.
