Life is a satire...
More than 100 apples mysteriously rained down upon a small British town on Monday night. The still-unexplained apple shower left 20 yards of city streets and car windshields covered in the cascading fruit just after the daily rush hour.
The news immediately brought up comparisons to biblical tales of raining frogs and whether such reported freaks of nature actually occurred. In this instance, no one has officially confirmed when, how or if the apple storm truly took place as described.

The quiet town of Beebe, Arkansas, woke up on Saturday, January 1, 2011, to find thousands of dead red-winged blackbirds on the ground. The bird corpses stretched for miles, yet an aerial survey showed that no other dead birds were found outside this specific area. "I thought the mayor was messing with me when he called me," a town street supervisor said. "He got me up at 4'oclock in the morning and told me we had birds falling out of the sky." Estimates have put the number of dead birds at between 4,000 and 5,000. Wow, that's nuts. But surely there must be a perfectly reasonable explanation for this phenomenon, right?
Um, no, actually. Nobody has any idea why or how this happened.

An estimated 20 tons of dead herring fish mysteriously washed up on the cost of Norway and then disappeared. The fish remains turned up on Norway's northern coast on New Year's Eve, and officials are still looking to explain just how and why they showed up.
