Or maybe.... (/crashing organ chords...) it's spawn of the ... BLOB!Tulsa, OK (AHN) - Surges of jellyfish were reported to have suddenly appeared in local water bodies of Oklahoma. The sea creatures have been found in more than 20 counties within the state.
The sudden appearance of the jellyfish was not seen as a threat, as explained by Barry Bolten, the head of the fisheries department of the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife. He explained that the species found all over the state was not as hazardous as its other cousins.

A sign of the end of days!
Or the revenge of the sea creatures over the Dead Zone. Or a biblical prophecy of being swamped with tentacled blobby things in the middle of the continent because of being wingnuts....

They come down with their boats and don't clean out the bilge. They take them home and finally start pumping out when the problem is bad in their home waters, transferring eggs and bacteria into their home waters.
People get tired of their aquariums and dump them into local waters.
This crap spreads and no one can figure out why.
I found the word "surge" to be particularly alarming...
Bryan, you make it seem so logical. But of course people don't think of these things. Bilges need to be emptied and aquariums become boring... and there are no consequences to dumping.
Eli, you made me read the article in an entirely new way....
Heh. I saw a similar article, and thought they had just misspelled "blog" ...
Hmmm... bilges for boring blogs... We need some of those. Just pull the little plug and all the blather and froth swirls away to contaminate...
Oh never mind.
There are all kinds of consequences, and we live with them in Florida, like the 12 to 20-foot constrictors now in the Everglades because that beautiful little snake grew up. Or the wonderful shade tree that grows quickly and kills all of the native trees. There are all kinds of consequences.
The problem is that the laws don't make people pay for the consequences of their actions.
Yes, we get non-native pests here in Southern California all the time. We even had the malathion-spraying helicopters fly over our city a while back for the Mediterranean fruit fly.. which didn't work. ... And did you say 20 FOOT constrictors??
eep.
