Yesterday, a hundred (atleast) dead jackdaws fell from the sky not far from where I am. [tinfoil]

So if birds are slaughtered by the many thousands by fireworks, why specifically on Jan 1 when a few people fire off a couple of shells and then go inside instead of Jul 4 when my neighborhood sounds like the beginning of the Battle of Verdun?

I find it very hard to believe that fireworks are the cause or even a major contributing factor here.

I'm wondering if someone went vigilante on the Asian Carp problem up in the Illinois River... and messed up or overdosed the chemicals?  The result is dead birds and fish all over the place downstream.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I would not be shocked if the New Madrid fault cuts loose in the next few weeks.

Although that's as tin-foil as I'm willing to get.

Reports of minor quakes and dead/confused birds pre-dated the "big one" in 1812.

New Madrid is in MO, right?
We should rename it Fistful's Fault.

Another weird die-off. Millions of fish in the Chesapeake Bay.

Dude, is it possible that there was a thermal output variation from the Sun?

There were some Velvet Crabs in the UK (I want to say about 40k) that washed up dead from the cold in the Atlantic.

The common thread between all this stuff seems to be temperature.

Look at the footage for 1/2/2011.

There's a huge solar ejecta event.  Actually, there's two big ones on that date.  7AM and 5PM.

The footage for 12/31/10 looks to be truncated.  It's missing several hours and there are several solar ejecta events in the footage that is present for that day, too.  It's missing 5PM to 11PM.

I've only looked at a week's worth of footage on there, but the pulses on 12/31 and 1/2 are interesting, to say the least.
