oh lord 
almost made me vomit!! Looks like it's time to thoroughly clean that block out. I wouldn't run with chunks like that...that would be pretty bad if you started that thing up and got chunks stuck in your water pump

It might be recycled coolant too, some shops use recycled coolant to save cash. It usually looks brown, but either way thats not healthy.

Dexcool is supposed to last alot longer that the traditional green stuff. Maybe the two coolant types got mixed together 
. Whatever the case, you need to flush out your cooling system.
