The Mysterious Blob

A giant slimy reeking blob of something is floating off the coast of Alaska. People have yet to figure out exactly what it is, but insist it is not petroleum-based in any way, that it is instead organic. I myself would wait for the lab analysis to come back before making statements about the nature of a previously unknown phenomenon. One speculation is that it could be some kind of algae. That's plausible. I'm going to laugh my tail off if it turns out to be something organic that eats oil or plastic, though. At any rate, this blob is probably not a good thing.
