More lumps wash up on Kapiti Coast

Ahoy Aussies!

Many apologies from the US of A. We've had a bit of run-off from the coast.

Hahahhahaa

OMG THE OCEANS HAVE TUMORS NOW.

It probably is just some lard from old decayed barrels that rotted away. I'm sure no matter what gross chunk washes up there will be a bunch of idiots there to sniff it and rub it all over their gullible naked bodies. Or worse. But then again that aids in natural selection. I hope its toxic.

From the descriptions- my first thought was grease. I work in the sewer system inBaltimore County, MD, USA. Our chunks of grease fit those descriptions, but our mains (sewer) are only 8" to 20" lines as opposed to some places where the lines are measured in several feet. Perhaps someone is flushing their sewer into the ocean. Grease is nasty and really clogs the system up. Constant cleaning is required to keep some lines open, though there are no guarantees. The stench is terrible.

Now those are some lumps we can laugh about. Unlike the kind I've been reading...regarding the American Economy.

Sometimes smaller white smelly lumps wash ashore around the N.Y.C. beaches. Some have remnants of styrofoam remaining amid the rancid mass of biologically decaying material. Its the smell that is horrendous as it reaks of something that might be catchy like tuberculosis or some lung disease.

Why doesnt somebody just check it out and see if it has Whale DNA?? That might be too easy, eh??

From the picture, it appears to be shaped like an old water barrel used on the wailing ships of the past. Could it be, an old sunken wailing ship finally rotted enough to let the contents of the hold float free?

Hmmm, may be from a restaurant but usually the fat gets taken away for lipstick etc. Definitely not whale fat from japanese ships haha

from the picture it looks barrel shaped. i'd say it was from a sunken whaler. old whale oil or fat.
