 A monster? An alien? Nope, this is a macroscopic image of a Polychaete, or bristle worm. They can survive intense sea pressures and some live around deep sea vents, miles below the surface. Space herpe.  |

Polyurathanes are often a very fast forming foam. The two chemicals when mixed react so rapidly, and have enough gaseous by-product, that they foam up to several times the volume of the solution. As the molecules polymerize (analogous to adding links to a chain), they become intertwined and solidify. Once solidified they tend to be light and fairly durable.
A common usage of the type you see here is foam insulation. Less reactive types are used as coatings. Padding in car bumpers is another use.
Could it also be the Elephants Toothpaste reaction, which is hydrogen peroxide, potassium iodide and detergent + food colouring for the foam? fify - rattran |

Space herpe. That looks like the male version of vagina dentata. I am a bit intoxicated and that thing is really freaking me out.  Picture (not necessary awesome but very intriguing and maybe NSFW, so spoilered): [brokespoiler] http://i.imgur.com/ytPsU.jpg[/brokespoiler] <edit by Rattran>I broke the image link. Let's not put borderline NSFW stuff in the SFW threads. |

Aside from the fact you can click on the photo... Central Park. Long Island stretching out to the east. An iconic plume from an iconic position.
A few years later I stumbled on a site called Waterthread and was fascinated by the level of discussion in its forums...

Another lonely, abandoned place for Lantyssa, this time in Italy. I'm not sure about the internet connection but I'm certain that there's a little village close enough to buy some crusty bread and smelly cheese.  |
