[OT] Mysterious Glob...

This MSNBC article says that the thing could be a giant colony of something sort of like plankton. That's really not nearly as exciting as a giant sea monster, if you ask me... anyhow, here's the link:

There is always controversy in this sort of situation, one expert wil refute another..and as badly decayed as it is..until they test the flesh there wont be any concrete answers

Looks like a large... jellyfish.

I wonder if some of the massive predators hinted at in legend have gone extinct from the collapse in the food chain caused by overfishing throughout the last few centuries. Were there amazing things in the deep that we will never know existed?

This reminds me of a story I read where a protoplasmic blob rose from the sea by accident, and devoured people before trying to return (and finally being annihilated with a flamethrower). Whatever that thing is, its damn creepy.

The scarier thing to consider is that, by depleting their food sources, these massive predators have been forced to look for other ways of getting food - watch out humans.

Twinkies work. I hear that powergamers live off of those things.

No you fool! Don't you know that twinkies among gamers are a symptom of great evil in the area?! Look at what happened to the guys of the Bag Witch Project!

Ever since i was a child i liked octopi more than squids and held hope Kraken was a breed of octopus, not squid.

EDIT

Thankfully the upper world's lack of pressue is as deadly to them as the under sea world's great preassure is to us.
