Alaskan Blob Is an Algae Bloom

Bryan Gividen writes "Time.com is running a story on the previously unidentified blob floating off of the coast of Alaska. The article states that the blob is an algae bloom — far less sinister (or exciting) than any The Thing or The Blob comparison that was jokingly made. From the article: '"It's sort of like a swimming pool that hasn't been cleaned in a while." The blob, Konar said, is a microalgae made up of 'billions and billions of individuals.'"

Cut down on the f*cking lame posts.

That includes you too.

I swear, ever since signal 11 left slashdot for kuro5hin, this place has turned to a shitmare.

Are you still looking for oxygen? Look at the H20

Don't screw with that algae, let the animals deal with it. You enviro-harvesting civil-energy fags should try to make somthing without f*cking-up the environment. I swear, every time some unusual biological development occurs then it's always the same counter foresight of "let's embrace" or "derive fuel" from it to run your shoddy japanese car.

Here's an idea: leave the f*cking thing alone and find a way to run your car engine on hydrogen and oxygen derived from the saltwater that green turd was floating on.

Bringing-up Palin just because this thing is floating near Alaska only makes yours and others' posting just as f*cking lame. Karma fags, every single one of you, trying to say anything to get modded-up by either one of the graduated AOL'ers or the 13-year-old DSL uTorrent n1ggers leaching as much black-on-white monster-d1ck hermaphrodite pr0n.

So your "argument" is "ad hominem"?

Sorry, but: FAIL.

That's No Bloom

It's just Sarah "Bailin'" Palin's brain cells, trying to evolve on their own to the point that she can form a coherent sentence or political strategy.
