I bet these guys have something to do with it though. Here they are checking out the last batch of slime they found oozing under city streets.
That's the first thing that came to my mind either.
Authorities remembered that there's a petroleum drilling site two blocks from the apartment building. When they checked there, they discovered that workers were injecting high-pressure hot water into old wells to extract leftover crude oil.
When the St. James Oil Co. halted the hot water pumping, the bulge in the street began to subside and the flow of oily liquid quickly slowed.
So, not an inexplicable blob.
Still room for either a) a round of legal settlements or b) claiming government coverup for all you conspiracy nuts out there.
