Wet, dirty, slimy, it doesn't really matter: human curiosity will stop at nothing when it comes to understanding what the world has to offer -- especially if it's potentially dangerous.

The weird mass seemed to have recently been washed up onto the shore. It was a chunky lump that gave off a powerful aroma.

As the interested canine got closer, he began to bark. Where did this blob come from, was it a threat?
Upon closer inspection, the woman had realized what she and her furry friend had stumbled upon -- and it wasn't a good sign.
Apparently, the mysterious substance was a so-called "fatberg" and they are becoming increasingly common.
