The link Ramseys gave is a very long page, but I read the whole thing, and it's worth it. For one thing, the author of that page brought up a point I was going to make: that what we're after is a mucus-like substance. I also liked the explanation of the mechanism by which J-lube works, by forming polymer strings (mucus is a polymer).
I think that the ultimate in long polymer strings produced by living creatures may be zebra spooge. It's like a huge, inseparable one-piece nutload. I think if you counted what spilled on the ground, the whole thing would be, like, twenty feet long at least.
I tried to upload still photos, but got error messages again.
