Blob-Blogging

Most of my readers hail from Texas, but just in case any of you live in (or are visiting) Los Angeles... RUN AWAY!!!

A mysterious black blob attacked downtown Los Angeles on Monday with a tar-like goo that oozed from manholes, buckled a street and unmoored a Raymond Chandler-era brick building, firefighters said.

About 200 residents were forced to flee as a hazardous materials team and dozens of firefighters worked throughout the day to identify what was first deemed "a black tarry substance" and later morphed into a "watery mud."

I think they made a movie about this once (or twice). Another case of life imitating art. Or if not art, then Hollywood.
