A Rain of Crows

Post by Atheist-Lite » Mon Jan 03, 2011 6:14 am

Is this a portent? A Sign! It is 2011 and things like this will happen? What other explanation? Someone testing a sonic disentegrator?

MORE than 1,000 blackbirds have dropped dead while flying over a town.

Wildlife officials think they may have been struck by lightning or hail, or they may have died from stress caused by New Year’s Eve fireworks.

The flock fell in a mile-square area on Friday in Beebe, Arkansas.

Most reports aren't mentioning the tornado for some reason.

Did anyone watch Flashforward? (Yes, I know it was crap).

I saw that on the news, and there were all sorts of species dead, not just one, so it can't be something that happened to a single flock.
There were starlings, blackbirds, and even much bigger birds.

Was there really a tornado?

The Pope was today knocked down at the start of Christmas mass by a woman who hopped over the barriers. The woman was said to be, "Mentally unstable."

Which is probably why she went unnoticed among a crowd of Christians.

Mystery solved. They ran into some 'sky-explosions' and hit the ground because they have poor eyesight.

And more to the point, why "a rain of crows" when it was a "rain of blackbirds"? :)

Something of this order required a dramatic intro and crows have the the edge? Never let the truth get in the way of a good intro!! :smoke:
