Having a cup of coffee and a banana muffin (made with love by Lisa) the crazy came across another bit of strangeness directly from the twilight zone. It seems that from 1994 to 1997 the small town of Oakville in Washington State (about a hundred miles south of Bremerton where one of our readers Swana makes her home.) Had an unusual rainfall, it rained a clear gelatinous goo, and not just any goo, this goo had eukaryotic cells (basically found in all living creatures) and also contained bacteria found in human digestive systems. And to make matters even more interesting anyone who touched the stuff got sick with flu like symptoms that lasted sometimes for months.
Like something out of a horror movie "Attack of the living goo!" the stuff fell for miles across the Washington countryside. It fell on seven occasions, starting in 1994 and the last in June of 1997. Of course many theories were put forth by the local people, military experiment, airline waste disposal, alien invasion, exploding jello factory. But no one has ever discovered where the gelatinous goo came from, and probably no one ever will, but we at the crazy love it for what it is, another strange interlude in the land of the Crazy. Ciao for now.
