From the story:

“According to city officials, the doughy, 90-foot mass is comprised of grease, flour and rags, and has been blocking a stretch of 12-inch sewer pipe on Main Street since January 13, WMTW reports.

City officials say that they will replace the section of sewer line, at a cost of between $40,000 and $60,000, beginning this week.”

At least it’s all in one piece that they can take out pretty cleanly.

Check the local pizza parlor for discarding cleaning debris improperly.

Cheer up, they might find Jimmy Hoffa or Judge Crater.

No, but Ted Kennedy's office needs to locate him, he may have taken another wrong turn and ended up in Maine instead of Massachusetts.

Fun fact: The Blob was produced by Russell S. Doughten, Jr., best known for the "Thief In The Night" series of religious suspense/propaganda films, which dramatized the Dispensationalist rapture/second coming of Christ scenario long before Tim LaHaye's Left Behind series.
