Jelly-Like Creatures Are Scaring East Texas Campers

[emad]

by Ramonica R. Jones

For the past seven or eight years, campers at Ewing Park in Angelina County have been noticing something strange floating in the lake - clumps of jelly-like substances that come in all shapes and sizes.

Even some veteran fishermen have never seen anything like it.

Some campers believe it's killing the fish.

"The hottest part of the summer is when it happens," said a Ewing Park camper.

They're not jellyfish, turtle eggs or unidentified sea creatures, they're bryozoans - big colonies of microscopic cells.

5. In this library in London that I'm posting from, 'Cheney' and 'Nazis'

are barred from the Google search engine.

If you try to find pics of Dick and his fishing rod or want to look for stuff on Hitler, a fierce message from the library's IT dept blocks the screen and says it's their policy to bar all info on these.....

IIRC, only magic can hurt those things. Wonderful.
