Come on, it is clearly just bubbling! Fresh out of the oven, just like Mama used to make!

Yes,yes i remember the good ol' days were mother would make me globs of living shit and cheese.

I hate to kill everybody's sense of wonder and paranoia, but they're an already existing creature: annelid worms.

Thanks for the video – I had not see it before. No, these are not bryozoans! They are clumps of annelid worms, almost certainly tubificids (Naididae, probably genus Tubifex). Normally these occur in soil and sediment, especially at the bottom and edges of polluted streams. In the photo they have apparently entered a pipeline somehow, and in the absence of soil they are coiling around each other. The contractions you see are the result of a single worm contracting and then stimulating all the others to do the same almost simultaneously, so it looks like a single big muscle contracting. Interesting video.

Defenestrator ruined it. I guess all that's left for us to look forward to now is the second wave of H1N1 or the Large Hadron Collider could still create a blackhole.

They're a colony of tubifex worms. Absolutely harmless and powerless.

However, they do look like something out of Lovecraft or Starcraft. Very disturbing.

What?
