Some genius decided that a new breed of algae infiltrating several New England waterways shall be referred to as Rock Snot.
OK. I understand that this stuff is nasty and that it threatens ecosystems. And, I know that the authorities wanted to make sure they got people's attention and that the warnings about cross contamination from infested waters to uninfested waters needs to be taken seriously. Maybe they figured that giving Didymosphenia geminata a memorable nickname would help. But, Geesh! Rock snot?
Wonder if the person who came up with that had a PhD.
