Found this on the web. someone is saying those snot balls are Bryozoans
Quote:
Bryozoans are tiny colonial animals that generally build stony skeletons of calcium carbonate, superficially similar to coral (although some species lack any calcification in the colony and instead have a mucilaginous structure). Members of the Phylum bryozoa are known as “moss animals” or “moss animacules” (which is the literal translation of the Greek term βρυόζωα, “bryózoa”) or as “sea mats”. They generally prefer warm, tropical waters, but are known to occur worldwide. They’ve also been observed to exist in sewer systems, examples being Denver and North Carolina. There are about 8,000 living species, with several times that number of fossil forms known.
Oaky, that's just freaky - no matter where the life form originated!
Yuck! I feel like I need a bath.
What in the fuck?! That quite honestly scared the hell out of me...
this video keeps popping up on my iGoogle page-
it scared me, and I'm fearless.. [ROFL1]
creep city!!!! How strange
The scary part is its reaction to light. The report also mention it emits low heat.

Unknown Lifeform in North Carolina Sewer: A Monstrous YouTube Hit
July 2nd, 2009 | by Pete CashmoreView Comments
http://ec.mashable.com/wp-content/up...02/youtube.pngWith 3.3 million+ YouTube views in the past two days, the video “Unknown Lifeform in North Carolina Sewer” (below) is taking the web by storm, becoming the most viewed video this week and beating out a performance of Michael Jackson’s Thriller. The clip, which shows an alien-looking life form living in a North Carolina sewer, was posted along with a claim that it was extra-terrestrial life.
Today mainstream news has taken notice and corrected the myth: the video is indeed real, scientists say, but the strange creature is very much a terrestrial phenomenon. News14 writes:
Ed Buchan, environmental coordinator at the Raleigh Public Utilities Department, said staff biologists have confirmed that the “creature” is actually a colony of tubifex worms. The colonies attach themselves to roots that gradually work themselves into weak points in the pipes. “They seem to respond to the light from the camera,” Buchan said. “That light is pretty hot.”It’s unclear what made the clip such a YouTubeYouTubehttp://static1.blippr.com/images/inl...png?1237094634 phenomenon: most likely it’s explained by the mystery surrounding the strange creature, much like last year’s Montauk Monster mystery.
The worms naturally occur in sewage and pond sediment and are actually sold both live and dried as fish food in pet stores. He said other staff members in the department have seen it before, although sightings aren’t particularly common. “I’ve seen a lot of sewer TV before and I’ve never seen them,” he said. “We were surprised. We didn’t know immediately what it was.”
I raised and feed tuby to my oscars and betta fish years ago. I never seen them clumping up in dry spot and clinging like that. I vote we shoot first and ask later! [Coffee]
Its a colony of worms all grouped together. When one twitches, it triggers all the rest to do it, too...
sort of like the ACORN and the liberals.
Forget Zombies, Aliens Perhaps? JK, that is some weird sh$# though.
I'd have loved to be the tech on duty by myself at 2:00AM going, "Let's see what's going on in the sewers tonight.....GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHH!"
I don't care what they call it! Its pods! Obama-liberal-emotional voting pods. THATS HOW WE LOST! Cloning libs in the sewer! Genius really. Just think......is that the water that people are drinking or the water they already drank?
hehehe... I thought those are the republican reps' balls. They have been missing them for awhile now.
could be that too!
Naw, I'm more inclined to believe that they are pods growing libs - that would clearly explain the question I've been asking for years: How on earth could anyone be so stupid as to buy the load of sh!t the libs are pushing off on the American people. It also explains why they need a welfare state so badly.
