They've got to stop serving whales at Taco Bell. Call me a speciesist, but it's for the greater common good.

"It's definitely not an oil product of any kind. It has no characteristics of an oil, or a hazardous substance, for that matter."

Well, besides the fact that it floats on water and sticks to wildlife like oil would.

Palin will vanquish it from Alaskan waters with her seafaring fishing knowledge and win the hearts of Americans and win the 2012 election for President.

"It's certainly biological," Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class Terry Hasenauer told the newspaper. "It's definitely not an oil product of any kind. It has no characteristics of an oil, or a hazardous substance, for that matter."

Because when I want information about the nature of a mysterious substance, I find the nearest Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class. Awesome reporting standards.

Well the article tells you where the shit is, go test it yourself.

it's gooey and they can see hair on it? maybe with all the ice melting a herd of well preserved thawed wooly mammoths has broken lose and is floating together in a massive conglomerate.

I see the bucket of it -- it looks like ordinary stagnant water growth.

In the ocean?

Sure, maybe some current forces created a stagnant spot in the Sea. Happens.

I like how you know what happened but biologists don't have a clue.
