SAN JUAN-Pandemonium has broken out here in the capital as the Giant Huge Green Blob appeared in the sky!
Weather service officials have said the phenomenon is related to Hurricane Katia, although are reluctant to speculate further. "You're claiming there's a big green blob off the coast of Puerto Rico?" asked Bob Robertson, chief meteorologist at the National Hurricane Center. "That's nonsense."
Nevertheless, residents remain baffled as the object remained in the sky and quite green. Others, meanwhile, have taken to worshipping the blob as a spiritual manifestation of god.
Climbing some 3,500 feet up the El Yunque mountain, several hundred residents have claimed that a "Green Virgin Mary" herself has appeared within the blob, giving a message of good-will and "general support" for "all mankind."
Others on the trek, meanwhile, simply passed out from oxygen deprivation.
"We hope that this manifestation, whatever it is, will be a boon to our tourism industries," said governor Luis Fortuño. "In addition, we hope that Hurricane Katia continues on its present course and misses us entirely!"
