Thousands of dead octopuses have washed up on a beach in northern Portugal, in what is being called an environmental disaster.
They cover a 5-mile stretch of Vila Nova de Gaia beach - no reason has yet been found for their appearance.
The authorities have warned the public not to eat them.
MEANWHILE: WELLINGTON: More than 120 whales died over 48 hours in two separate beachings in New Zealand, the Department of Conservation said on Monday.
More than 20 pilot whales will be buried by Coromandel Maori on Monday after dying when they became stranded on Sunday.
Sixty-three whales, mostly cows with calves, beached themselves at Colville Bay, north of Coromandel township in North Island.
The 3-4 meter whales were seen by fishermen struggling about 300 meters offshore around 6 a.m. and they called emergency services

Beat me by THAT MUCH.
I was talking to a SiL who lives on Plum Island, MA yesterday. She said this past summer they were overrun with some kind of snails that they had never seen before and it was due to global warming. She also said they used to have dung beatles but they are all gone. Yep, global warming again. I didn’t ask her if it was Bush’s fault but I’m sure she thinks so.

Whoever lets that freak near children should have their head examined.
Just my opinion of course.

There’s been a few big quakes in the South Pacific in the last few days, I wonder if that drove the whales into the beaches?
