and earthquakes....

More than 500 measurable earthquakes have been reported in central Arkansas since September 20, ranging in magnitude from a barely noticeable 1.8 to a very noticeable 4.0 (recorded on October 11), according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Geologists can't say whether they'll stop anytime soon.

Obviously NASA dumped their arsenic fish into the water after they kicked the bucket, thereby polluting the water and killing the fish.  The birds ate the dead arsenic and regular fish, got sick and died.  Clearly, this is Mike Huckabee's fault.

Results from preliminary testing released today by the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission Veterinary Diagnostic Lab show that red-winged blackbirds died from massive trauma on New Year's Eve.

The trauma was primarily in breast tissue, with blood clots in the body cavity and internal bleeding. All major organs were normal and the birds appeared to be healthy. Gizzards and stomachs of the birds were empty.

According to the report, "Further tests will be done to rule out other causes, but the birds suffered from acute physical trauma leading to internal hemorrhage and death. There was no sign of any chronic or infectious disease."

It's not apparent what caused the bird's unusual behavior, although loud noises were reported shortly before the birds began to fall from the sky. Blackbirds have poor night vision and do not typically fly at night.

Beginning at about 11:30 p.m., Dec. 31, Arkansas Game and Fish Commission wildlife officers received reports of blackbirds falling from the sky in a square-mile area of Beebe. It's estimated that up to 5,000 birds fell before midnight. Most of the birds were dead, but some were alive when officers arrived.

The AGFC flew over the area in a helicopter to gauge the scope of the event. No dead birds were found outside of the initial area of fallen birds.

Oh double shit

Arkansas Game & Fish is trying to figure out why 100,000 fish in Northwest Arkansas turned up dead. They were found along a 20-mile stretch between the Ozark Dam and Highway 109 Bridge in Franklin County.

The 20-mile stretch along the Arkansas River where an estimated 100,000 drum fish were found washed ashore and floating looks much different now.

Keith Stephens with Game and Fish explains, "We got a call last week from a tug boat operator that found the fish out on the river along the bank, in the river channel and we immediately dispatched somebody to the area to take a look."

Investigators from local and state agencies took samples from the affected area. Stephens says fish kills occur every year, but the magnitude of this one is unusual, and disease could be the cause.

Well, the only common link is that both groups of animals were in Arkansas.  So obviously the only rational decision is to wall off the state to protect the rest of the country.

The fringe websites are speculating sonic weapons at the moment.  Which is at least somewhat consistent with the kind of damage seen in the birds.

Just once, I wish the crazy, fringe lunatics would be correct. LIFE IS SO FUCKING MUCH MORE INTERESTING WHEN THE CRAZIES ARE JUSTIFIED.

I'm hoping for a terrorist plot with biological agents and sonic weapons. C'mon least likely scenario!

Someone on a game I was playing suggested "Aliens", but I think they were joking.
