"Under magnification, they seem to have some sort of molecular structure," she said.

As opposed to....?

Gulliver		2002-06-21 10:22:54 AM

As opposed to no molecular structure, which would make them very hard to magnify.

"Ten for a buck."

Ah, America at work!

Jeff		2002-06-21 10:23:41 AM

You'd think by now that some REAL scientists could have looked at them.

Veritas		2002-06-21 10:23:58 AM

Asteroid droppings?

Quirk		2002-06-21 10:24:11 AM

that's one hell of a good magnifier...

Unless she meant 'cellular structure.'

frolixo		2002-06-21 10:24:38 AM

They used to call me "mysterious balls" in school.

ionozacuzo		2002-06-21 10:25:11 AM

No molecular structure would mean a pure substance.

aegis		2002-06-21 10:25:17 AM

About Farking time they show a picture....

Ouroborus		2002-06-21 10:25:34 AM

Walrus poop

Dolfin		2002-06-21 10:26:26 AM

Looks alot like fresh horse crap.

I resent that comment

Well, at least we know they aren't Organians...

As opposed to being solid metal. A bar of, say, pure gold, is just that. Au and nothing else. Just atoms clinging together- no molecules.

It did sound really stupid, though.

Well I should hope so.

"Seals won't eat it,

They tried feeding it to seals? Interesting method, I must admit.

But some fish are dumb and will eat anything.

I think that's a very mean and derogatory comment. I'm calling PETA...

"I don't know if they're animal or mineral or what," the woman said after walking her dog along the sand.

Yeah, that's because yer a fcuking moron. Could we get a quote from some one a little smarter please?

sagacity		2002-06-21 10:30:30 AM

That is nothing but elephant dung.

No molecular structure would mean a pure substance.

Problem is, nothing can exist in nature without bonding to something (except under extreme circumstances), even if it's just with itself. And bonding with itself counts as a molecular structure too.

Coondog		2002-06-21 10:32:18 AM

I think what we are seeing her is the start of the great Kiwi revolt.

HPZ: That's still a molecular structure. It just isn't a comlicated one.

Puckfreak		2002-06-21 10:33:35 AM

I bond with myself on a regular basis.

loki see loki do		2002-06-21 10:33:52 AM

Poop.
Definitely poop.
Seals won't eat poop.
But locals will gather it as a souvenier.

Sheseala		2002-06-21 10:34:25 AM

Wow, she has one hell of a microscope if she can see molecules.

bucket		2002-06-21 10:35:24 AM

Oh, god, this is Hampton Beach? That place is like the Jersey Shore, only a lot colder and +4 seedier.

I remember going there with my camp (Moosilauke, up in Orford, NH) and getting fireworks. :D

vegasj		2002-06-21 10:35:26 AM

"Seals won't eat it, they use their sense of smell and it doesn't smell fishy."

arrrr arrrr arrrr arrr !!!!

Stupid_Bastard		2002-06-21 10:35:56 AM

Smoke some and see what happens??? :)

Farkin'A		2002-06-21 10:36:19 AM

Dingle-berries.
Huge, farking dingle-berries.

Rubble		2002-06-21 10:36:36 AM

"I don't know if they're animal or mineral or what,"

Mani, that last one sure is hard to think of. I think it's vig... veg... vagina! That's how it goes! animal, mineral, or vagina. That sure is hard to get right.

Cardinal		2002-06-21 10:37:31 AM

New Hampshire has a shore? Poop's up!

Sebas		2002-06-21 10:37:53 AM

"Marine Program scientists at the University of New Hampshire were contacted, but said they would have a hard time identifying the material without seeing it."

Translated:

"What the fark do you mean? Little green balls? Where?"
...
"Oh, a few hundred miles away... ah, let me check my long range vision. stupid excuse for a reporter"

....What the... oh wait, I'm too late to make a smart ass comment.

Sheseala		2002-06-21 10:38:29 AM

Doesn't molecular imply something that is covalently bonded?

Salt doesn't have molecules, just ions...

Jerkwater		2002-06-21 10:40:09 AM

Golf balls. People hit golf balls into the ocean, they get encrusted and covered in plant-life, and wash up on shore. Open one up, I guarantee there's a Titleist in there.

Sheseala		2002-06-21 10:40:20 AM

*laughs at Professor Snarf

Nope, Both covalent and ionic bonds make molecules. Salt has a molecular structure.

stephne27		2002-06-21 10:42:48 AM

did they cut the things open and make sure there wasnt a biological weapon type things in the middle. Because if thousands of these things just washed ashore, makes me thinks its not normal. Especially since all the clowns they interviewed are perplexed.

FLA Chickie		2002-06-21 10:43:10 AM

Maybe they are hemp balls? Wouldn't that be a sweet score...

KazamaSmokers		2002-06-21 10:44:55 AM

They're Sununu droppings.

Wookie		2002-06-21 10:45:17 AM

Mysterious balls, you say...

goat_jooj00		2002-06-21 10:45:35 AM

did it occur to anyone to cut one open? that would clear it all up...

sagacity		2002-06-21 10:46:17 AM

HEMP BALLS? You ever corner a hemp and try to cut off his balls? Whew!

Stupid_Bastard		2002-06-21 10:46:28 AM

I bet you'll see those things on eBay.. :) In a few days.

Rubble		2002-06-21 10:48:10 AM

I want mysterious balls to wash up on my shore. I'd be down there right now, gathering them up.

beefy-byproduct		2002-06-21 10:50:49 AM

they are called steel wool ASSHATS

Corsair		2002-06-21 10:50:54 AM

Old dunkin-doughnuts?

Spankenstein		2002-06-21 10:52:32 AM

These, obviously, are hair balls from cat fish.

headoverhighheels		2002-06-21 10:52:45 AM

Was Woody Harrelson in the vicinity?

Sheseala		2002-06-21 10:52:47 AM

Molecules are made up of two or more atoms, either of the same element or of two or more different elements, joined by one or more covalent chemical bonds.
