Name that Blob

Modern-day folks claim to know a lot about a lot, but every now and then they publicly admit defeat.

This is one of those now-and-then times. When asked, “What’s white and doughy and regularly washes up on Newfoundland shores in various shapes and sizes,” they've come up with a resounding “Who knows?”

Although some have attributed these blobs to a type of whale goo, others have called them a “mystery substance.”  Canadian officials have simply said that it’s “under investigation.”

Add this particular mystery to many another that remains impenetrable.  It’s nice to know that there are still some ways to stump the experts.
