Is this the start of Goo York City?
UK scientists have discovered a massive “blob” of rock underneath the Appalachian mountains that’s slowly oozing its way toward New York City, per a slimy new study published in the journal Geology.
“This thermal upwelling has long been a puzzling feature of North American geology,” the study’s lead author, Tom Gernon, Professor of Earth Science at the University of Southampton, said in a statement.
Officially dubbed the Northern Appalachian Anomaly (NAA), this subterranean slimeball sits 125 feet deep underground and extends 220 miles across New England. The team reportedly discovered it using seismic tomography, a method akin to taking a giant CAT scan of the Earth.

Apparently the goo comes from cows. Prospectors collect this goo with a special pan.
One prospector lost his pan, but someone else found it and inquired about it.
A local recognized the pan and told him “That’s the moo goo guy pan!”
That above was from Grok, and I continued my grok convo:
what public individual is most associated with piaps?
The acronym “PIAPS,” standing for “Pig In A Pant Suit,” is a derogatory internet slang term primarily associated with Hillary Clinton, as noted in sources like Slang.org and All Acronyms. This term emerged in online communities, often used by critics to mock her appearance or political persona, particularly focusing on her frequent wearing of pantsuits, which became a symbol of her public image. No other public individual is as consistently linked to this term across available sources.
Well played!

PIAPS = Pig In A Pantsuit
If it appeared 80 million years ago, I’m guessing it isn’t an imminent danger...
It creeps it leaps
and slides and Glides across the floor
and through the door
and all along the wall
a splotch of glotch
Be careful of the blob!
What rough beast ... etc. ... etc.
I looked on the Interweb and nothing came up. I guess I should have added slang.
Agree. My well is 500 feet. Cold too. (SW North Carolina)
I was hoping someone would bring that up.
Ha! I haven’t heard that acronym used in years, but I instantly recall reading it.
That’s faster than the high speed rail here in California.
The Blob” (1958) is partially based on a real-life incident. In 1950, Philadelphia police officers Joe Keenan and John Collins reported encountering a strange, glowing, and pulsating mass of “purple jelly” that seemed to fall from the sky and then evaporate. This incident was reported in the news and is believed to have inspired the movie.
125 feet below....supposedly the mantle starts at a minimum from 4.3 to 7 miles down and is about 1800 miles thick. Since the continents have split all over the earth there should be more of these. No?
At such a low level, it might be a good candidate for geothermal energy.No?
The report seems to be AI generated and edited by a high school sophomore.
Rosie O’Donald burrowing back into the country?
Unofficially known as Lizzo.
The green goo from Ghostbusters starts its move to NY City. Odd that it appears when Mamdani decides to take the city. Even the green slime don’t like this idiot.
