That's a pretty crappy picture. Couldn't have someone gotten a little closer and taken a better one?

Oh.... I get it now. Blush

We should have called Barrett to go down and snap a couple.

Re: This could have ruined a good day surfing

Poorly written article. Was this some bomb that was always there, but now has been uncovered in the sand, did float there and get stuck on the beach, or was planted there? (The latter seems unlikely - if someone planted it seems they would want to do more than blow up some sand and (maybe) the old lighthouse. Who hates lighthouses? Not even the Joker blew up a lighthouse.....)

What happens in a black hole stays in a black hole.

Pretty sure I read in another article that it washed up on shore. When I was driving home the waves were huge after a couple days of strong NE winds.

Sounds like nefarious activity to me.

Quote:
After the crew arrived, the team determined that the object was a live military ordnance, a 100-pound aerial bomb from the World War II era. ...Around 12:30 p.m., a three-person explosive ordnance disposal team successfully detonated it. They reported “that there was a dull thud and sand tossed into the air approximately 60 feet.”

RIP, old bomb. RIP.

Oh, that's a little bomb, maybe a half stick.

Naw, this one features Little Bomb (it had only 12 views when I found it - make it go viral)

Lil Xay: Purple (feat. Little Bomb) NSFW lyrics

Unless you were thinking of DJ Lil Bomb. This would make a decent EDMish windsport soundtrack.
