I came across this story earlier today and it made me laugh. I realize that it's a serious and expensive problem, but the way the entire city is so completely bewildered by the "blob" is just fantastic.
The best part is the handy little map they've created to pinpoint the exact location of the blob.
I'm not sure how this thing could have just been discovered now. 90-foot blobs don't appear overnight. The story reports that the blob is made mostly out of flour and grease. Basically, it's a giant blob of dough. I guarantee you that somewhere in Lewiston, there is an Italian guy scrambling to hide the evidence of his foiled plan to make the world's largest pizza.

Did you enlarge the picture? That does not look like any dough that I'd want to eat. Holy crap.
Trivia: Did you know that people from Maine are called Maniacs? Or maybe Mainiacs? Either way.
Also, you just know that somewhere in Hollywood, a writer is trying to make the most of his strike downtime by writing a horror screenplay based on this, for which he is imagining Sarah Michelle Gellar as the female lead.
I'm actually from that area of Maine, this story hits really close to home.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Lewiston, may God save their souls.
I love this blob story, the way I love the story of the great Molasses flood in Boston , although the molasses did kill people and horses etc... which was sad, and sticky.
That's got nothing on the 1814 beer flood in London.
9 dead, 8 drowned... the 9th died of alcohol poisoning trying to save the city. He was a hero.
