  I'm gonna puke urlLink Another gigantic gross thing washed up on shore. This time it's not a blob of sperm whale carcass, but rather "some algae or fungus" I thought the following selection from the story was pretty funny: " The state Department of Environmental Protection poked at the blob and took samples as part of a half-dozen field tests Tuesday before deciding it's not hazardous . " It makes the State Department of Environmental Protection out to be a bunch of 8 year old boys: "Ew, what is it? " "Dunno. Poke it with a stick" "Ok." "Oh gross, it smells like barf. " "We'll put that in the report.
Any other observations? " "It's way gross. " "Make a note of it: 'Reminicent of barf', 'Gross'. " "Eat it. " "You eat it. " "How are we going to determine if it's not toxic? " "It may be an algae growth that lived on the bottom of the lagoon and after its life cycle ended, gases brought it up to the surface. " "Hmm...good point. We'll add that to the conclusion.
"
