- dinkumator, on 10/10/2007, -6/+214i don't know how much i'd be playing in it after reading that.
the ocean's puke basically - chemicals and dead plants and animals ground up together and spit out on the shore - swanny89, on 10/10/2007, -1/+157I think I rented a video with that very same title once...
- soil, on 10/10/2007, -1/+92it's funny how we associate things:
-just because it's foam doesn't mean it's detergent
-just because it's natural doesn't mean it's clean! - Knives, on 10/10/2007, -2/+65I'm pretty sure there isn't any rotten fish flesh, whale semen, or shark ***** in my bed. (LoL Shark *****.)
- Knives, on 10/10/2007, -4/+62You Don't have a girlfriend, remember?
- NeoCortex, on 10/10/2007, -1/+51That must have taken a lot of Diet Coke and Mentos.
- Smiley09, on 10/10/2007, -2/+51...chemicals, dead plants, decomposed fish and excretions... in foam form no less.
I'll wager a guess dolphins are behind this. - t3soro, on 10/10/2007, -1/+48Instead there's rotten human flesh, human semen, and quite possibly human ***** in your bed.
- GunRunner, on 10/10/2007, -5/+48Wow, I don't know if I would be playing in that either.
- Error601, on 10/10/2007, -4/+46Take a look at some of the electron microscope pictures of you average bedding.
- Cam_86, on 10/10/2007, -1/+35Cause every 30 years they get a foamy beach? I hope the other reasons are bit more compelling...
- stak79, on 10/10/2007, -5/+36That's crazy. I've never seen anything like that before. I've seen a little foam on the shore but nothing like that.
- fthead9, on 10/10/2007, -3/+34Pretty frightening looking, no way I'm jumping into that foamy goo.
- merdiesel, on 10/10/2007, -3/+33Watch it turn out to be whale sperm or something sick like that...
- Winboloer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+29Looks like the scene from Futurama after Zoidberg missed out on the orgy.
- dacheetah, on 10/10/2007, -1/+29It's official, I must leave the "cave" once in a while...
It says Sydney, I live in Sydney, and this is the first I hear of this... - harlowsmonkeys, on 10/10/2007, -3/+28So it was something natural, and basically harmless. But how many of those people playing around in it knew that? My first guess would have been that it was the result of some kind of chemical spill from a ship, and could be very hazardous. I wouldn't have gone anywhere near it until there was some reasonable explanation of what it was. Even if I was sure it wasn't man made, I'd be wary, because Nature doesn't really care whether I live or die.
People rushing to play in it reminds me of the people during the tsunami a couple years ago, who saw the ocean retreat, didn't know why, and so went out to look at the stranded fish. The correct reaction would have been to think, "I don't know why the ocean went away, but it is probably coming back sometime, and it probably won't just come exactly back, but will overshoot, so I'd better GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!". (Same for people who saw animals of many species all fleeing from the ocean, and just thought "how odd" rather than figuring that whatever is scaring all the animals is probably something worth running from). - Phasmorphage, on 10/10/2007, -4/+26Beach's closed due to AIDS
- inspecality, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22it must be hard for you to swallow all that
- subarumaniac, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21that is madness. i just saw an episode of blue planet (discovery), that some fish come up to the alaskan shores and proceed to breed in such quantities that the males' sperm creates a foamy mess, just as in this picture but not nearly as tall, for miles and miles along the shorelines. i'd stay out of that foam.
- ianbirtwistle, on 10/10/2007, -20/+39Bukkake.
- Spamiclese, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18That boy now has leukemia.
- nymphetamine, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16The pillow rebels and kills you in your sleep.
- Wilson, on 10/26/2007, -0/+15So, foam reminds you of foam, eh?
- AlphaPrime, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15No one remembers the great crash of the shampoo tanker of '07? Fortunately the conditioner wasn't far behind.
- maximumsteve1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15"god's cappuccino"- reverend lovejoy
- L4WL3RS34L, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15WE don't have girlfriends, remember?
- dvsbastard, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12That perfectly explains why my antibacterial dish washing liquid foams up nicely!
Wait... no it doesn't! - senorcool, on 10/10/2007, -5/+17This is just one more reason why I cant wait to visit Australia.
- drewbe121212, on 10/10/2007, -5/+161. Engulf beach with foam
2. Promote on digg
3. ??????
4. Profit! - jkirk7msa, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13I don't really care if it's sea puke, it looks fun.
- trogdoor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10There was actually a native tribe ( forget where ) that had local mythologies about evil gods coming when the ocean retreated. They may have been scared away by superstition but it saved all their lives when the tsunami hit.
- brucerchapman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8I live on the East Coast of Australia - we just had a massive low pressure system (unusual for winter) churn up the coastline. The whole beach where I live was turned into a giant foam pit. It wasn't as large as the photos but there was still plenty around. For the people who think it is gross - it is so light you can hardly feel it, and it doesn't leave a gooey residue like soap foam can. Having said that I didn't play in it because it's cold at the moment.
- aussieNickuss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Yes, because Germany is so close to Australia.
- pmagayon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Don't forget about whale semen.
- kristobal1229, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7"Scientists explain that the foam is created by impurities in the ocean, such as salts, chemicals, dead plants, decomposed fish and excretions from seaweed. "
I don't think I would be frolicking in that gross stuff. I kept reading to see if they would say something about it being unsanitary. Nasty. - darny, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Sit Ubu sit...good dog. *woof*
- tehpwnrate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Anyone who's had a marine aquarium is probably familiar with the protein skimmer. That's the ocean's protein skimmer. I would not want that gunk on me or my kids, as you said.
- Domza, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I'll give you a couple right now.
Beer. Sun. Women. Non-uptightness. - FizixMan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Foam.
- Error601, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Wow...that's pretty impressive. I thought the last hurricane through here brought in a lot but that's at least double.
- jgzman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Isn't that Larry Niven's third law or somthing? Anything you don't understand is dangerous?
- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6What does it remind you of?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5If the local news is to be trusted, its safe and natural. Just uncommon on this scale.
- jiddy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6That would be a lot of fun. Why can't that happen is Texas??
- KingGorilla, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7just because it's bee vomit doesn't mean it's delicious!
- Vincent21212, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4By non-uptightness, you mean the women screw ugly dudes. Right?
- Jelfish, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Munich (where Oktoberfest is held) is almost as far from the coastline as you can get in Germany.
- Piedramente, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Foam Party!!!
- Kwipper, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5When I first read the title, I was expecting Foamy the Squirrel......

Boy was I wrong! -
