  • lolwatermelon, on 07/16/2009, -2/+19You ever see a news story and get the feeling that maybe we're all going to die? I don't mean SARS/Swine Flu panic, but a legitimate feeling of dread?

    I kinda got a feeling like that from this story. I hope we keep getting updates on it.
  • inactive, on 07/16/2009, -0/+17I blame Stephen King. And the monster from The Raft.

  • PowderedToasty, on 07/16/2009, -1/+16I always get a little sad that things like this never end as awesomely as they do in movies.
  • bjs3171, on 07/16/2009, -0/+14that article was the part where you put pictures. I know this whole "newspaper" thing is new, but get with it.

  • Elixir25, on 07/16/2009, -6/+18It's Sarah Palin's political career being carried out to that giant floating garbage pile in the Pacific.
  • GorfTron, on 07/16/2009, -1/+12The blob held a press conference for it's resignation speech
    "A good blob guard blobs through a full blob press, protecting the blob, keeping the blob's blob on the blob... and blob knows exactly when to pass the blob so that the blob can BLOB. And blob's doing that - keeping our blob on the blob that represents blob priorities - smaller blob, blob indeblobdence, blob security, blobdom! And blobs know when it's time to pass the blob - for victoly."

  • Elranzer, on 07/16/2009, -0/+8It's actually The Blob. Did anyone see that movie, 1950s version at least? They ended up dropping it off in Alaska to keep it frozen. Maybe global warming thawed it out and it's coming for its revenge...

    The Blob Eats San Fransisco!
  • iXam, on 07/16/2009, -0/+7You should call the scientists to inform them about it. ;)
  • ChronicColonic, on 07/16/2009, -0/+7yeah I know - but it could have a Scooby Doo ending to it.

    "It's pitch black when it hits ice and it kind of discolors the ice and hangs off of it," Brower said. He saw some jellyfish tangled up in the stuff, and someone turned in what was left of a dead goose -- just bones and feathers -- to the borough's wildlife department.

    Bones and feathers? ITS ***** EATING THINGS
  • Wypie, on 07/16/2009, -0/+6♫ 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 ♫
  • oderdigg, on 07/16/2009, -3/+9it was a ***** video....

  • Elranzer, on 07/16/2009, -0/+5As long as the movie we live in doesn't end like "Knowing" we'll be all good.
  • chadsmith729, on 07/16/2009, -3/+8.... this just in "Deadliest Catch" will NOT be going after crabs this year. Instead it will be going after a strange goo. Stay tuned, more at 6!
  • Scrappy1850, on 07/16/2009, -0/+5Sorry, Charlie.
  • thcobbs, on 07/16/2009, -1/+6I disagree. Maximum coolness is reached at three periods; after that, coolness drops at a geometric rate...
  • EarlOfLade, on 07/16/2009, -0/+5The blob is just Sarah Palin's latest public statement!
