I'm relieved to know that both things are within the range of beings that can be identified as "identifiable." I mean, that's all we need - aliens breeding in the sewers...so how would something like that get there, professor? Two of them setting up house on either side of the tunnel from each other - ? Do they normally grow that big?

I had to look twice at them because to me at first it looked like some kind of asexual porn + KY hoax, but I'm just dirty-minded.

That poor sea pig looks so uncomfortable, resting all his heft on his poor little appendages without the benefit of water to buoy him up. Can't somebody please give him a comfy pillow or something?

Someone has requested MORE information about a disgusting wormy thing! I can hardly contain my joy!

I should qualify all this by saying that I'm not at all sure that's a lump of bryozoans, just my best guess. I wasn't aware they'd recoil from light like that, or more probably, heat. They are animals, though, and can move.

Assuming they are bryozoans, each of those lumpy bits is a colony of many. They spawn sort of spore-style, like corals, so it would be quite likely for them to find a spot in each of those junctions. Also, I don't think that pipe is very big, actually, but bryozoan colonies can form disturbingly jiggly, large, free floating mats of crud.

You can see a few pictures here, but there are hundreds and hundreds of kinds, and they're all really different.

I just googled North Carolina sewer life and found something saying it's tubifex worms, but I dunno. I think those are just the little red worms that you feed goldfish...maybe there's more than one kind.

I could keep going, but surely this is more than enough to kill the thread.

I will keep checking this thread for more information regarding disgusting blob...err...bryozoan life forms.

Ty for researching this important topic!

^ :D TY! :D

Yes indeed. Otherwise I'd have had to spend quite a bit of time in the "Disturbing Dreams" thread after seeing that thing.

Is this some form of bryozoan also

Amy Winehouse lookin' good!!!

^The other day I was feeling so proud of myself for finding a pair of squishily awesome moccasins marked way down to $7, and then when I got home, I realized they said "Jessica Simpson" on the inside.

I voluntarily purchased something that was approved by Jessica Simpson.

In my defense, I did think the silver bedazzler bits on the toes were a bit tacky, but I decided I could live with them for $7.

Now I think that maybe Billy Corgan and I have fallen prey to her evil wily voodoo charms, which involve coating a black rooster in glitter gloss and shooing it several times back and forth across the grave of Janis Joplin.

No one is safe.

Forget Jessica. She's harmless, and shoes are not the worst thing for bedazzlers to appear on. But that John Mayer's a gi-normous tool. At least your moccasins don't say "John Mayer" on them.

i was going to post this :
"I would have to agree" < (to js being harmless that is)

but then i re-read the first paragraph of
"The Age" article

Jessica Simpson has a Show called
"The Price of Beauty"

Mo says get me the frig out of here !

If you go to that YouTube page, you'll see that this sort of thing has been happening with increasing frequency since 2007 in many more places than I'd first imagined. the most recent incident was in Arizona.
