Binary large object - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (195 words)
A blob is a collection of binary data stored as a single entity in a database management system.
Blobs are typically images, audio or other multimedia objects, though sometimes binary code is stored as a blob.
Blobs were originally just amorphous chunks of data invented by Jim Starkey at DEC, who describes them as "the thing that ate Cincinnatti, Cleveland, or whatever".
Blob (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (820 words)
The Blob (Frederick J. Dukes) is a Marvel Comics supervillain, an adversary of the X-Men.
Due to the Scarlet Witch's magicks the Blob was one of the thousands of mutants to lose their powers, though his skin has not shrunk to compensate the loss of his bloated mass, giving him huge folds of loose skin all over his body and causing him to become suicidal.
The Blob had superhuman strength which had greatly increased over the years, in a manner very similar to that of the Thing; originally the Blob had enhanced strength enabling him to lift about 1 ton, but right up to losing his powers he had become strong enough to lift roughly 70 tons.
