"Mystery blob eating downtown (LA)..."

Congealed essence of Michael Moore.

LOS ANGELES -- Residents of a downtown Los Angeles apartment building remain locked out after an oily substance spilled into the basement.

About 130 people were evacuated Monday afternoon after authorities saw the sludge bubble from pavement cracks and manhole covers on South Olive Street.

At first, no one knew where the mysterious liquid came from. Then authorities found that workers at a nearby petroleum drilling site were injecting hot water into old wells to extract leftover oil.

When the Saint James Oil Company stopped pumping hot water, the flow of oily liquid slowed down.

The apartment building has been red-tagged, meaning it'll be off-limits to residents until it can be inspected by safety experts.

LA used to be a very active oilfield.

Ever hear of UNOCAL (Union Oil of CALIFORNIA).

There is some wells still in the area; they get filled with parrafin, which is basically a wax like goop. It clogs up everything.

The way you get rid of parrafin is by a process known as "hot oiling" and/or pumping boiling water in the well.

I would look for a well nearby where someone was doing a high pressure water clean out. Then I would look for what is called a "casing head leak" --- a hole in the metal of the well somewhere very near the surface.

and what about the water temperature in yellowstone park raising?

And that mysterious patch of land abot 6 feet underground that was over 400 degrees for some un known reason.

And the 'bulge' forming in washington state?

Is a Supervolcano going to pop half of the US into the air?

Beware of The Blob, it creeps
And leaps and glides and slides
Across the floor
Right through the door
And all around the wall
A splotch, a blotch
Be careful of The Blob

"Officials say additonal tests have identified the ooze as the slime trail left behind by the slug-like form of Hilary Clinton, who was in town this week to beg for yet more money to finance her Presidential campaign. Officials are expecting a repeat performance later this evening when Bill Clinton, free of his wife for several hhours while she glad-hands and fakes a smile, will be searching the streets for prostitutes and a Taco Bell..."

"And a pressurized liquid shot from every street orifice located above what used to be a historic oil field downtown."

Black Gold? Texas Tea?

Drill it!

Something is forcing this up from below ground. I would take this as a warning of a possible earthguake. There are test wells near LA where the water is near boiling.

Do you have a link to the test well story? Something is happening...
