Huge Unidentified Organic Blob Floating Around Alaska

Posted by samzenpus on from the real-reason-Palin-resigned dept.

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."

    It's probably a shoggoth.

    Very close, but it's actually a physical manifestation of Palin's political future. They just happen to look alike.
