I'm betting ambergris or a big ass lump of grease from a restaurant.

There were no cheese boats in the area? They keep track of those things?

Well I'll brie damned. (2)

""The most extraordinary thing is that if it is cheese, why would someone be throwing something so expensive away?"

is that really the most extraordinary thing?

I camembert to see good cheese go to waste. But I bet there's stil tons more out there floating around.

It'll be gouda if they can identify the source.

CHEESE PUN THREAD!!

What we need is a giant saltine.

Rozinante: There were no cheese boats in the area? They keep track of those things?

You know, the New Zealand cheese boat registry.

"One of the reasons the council wants to get rid of it is because no one knows what it is yet,' he said. "The most extraordinary thing is that if it is cheese, why would someone be throwing something so expensive away?"

Cheese that makes one foam and the mouth and vomit? Why, indeed?

I was going to comment on the grammatically poor headline until I read the grammatically poor article. I could have done whey better.

there might be a watch in there

Aliens?

Truly it is Cheese of Extraordinary Power.
Someone should send them an E-mail saying "Oh thank goodness you found my giant chunk of floaty Polonium! Please don't let any more dogs lick it. The stuff is expensive!"

I know who could use it...

According to Wiki at $10/gram for amergris I'll be flying to Wellington to reclaim my lost 500kg slab.

It's a sea muenster!

I hope there's a follow up, I wouldn't want to swiss it.

From the Wiki: "although it has also been used for medicinal and flavoring purposes."

... Whale shiat flavouring?

SpinStopper: These cheese puns are making me bleu ;)

They rennet it over the border on drug mules peddling their broken promises to kids on the street.

Precious hamburgers?

Approves

I bet it is Micheal Moore's Fomunda Cheese.
/He's fat in case you didn't notice.

If it is ambergris I don't think it is top quality stuff (too fresh - worth more as it ages, hardens and darkens AFAIK), but it would still be worth something. Stupid Wellingtonians - leaving it for their local government to claim. With cheese prices in New Zealand being what they are it would just about be worth flying there to pick it up even if it was just cheese!!

The brie or not debris?

I've grown rather fondue this thread. It's nacho usual pun-of-the-mill string.

so it's hallucinogenic? should i snort it instead? i'm lost. you silly, euro-asia-pacifical peoples and your kilohectares and microbytes. how am i, a red-blooded american, to know that something is or is not a drug, if you measure it in a dollars-to-gram ratio?

Your dog wants... cheese?
