BEEBE, Ark. (AP) -- Preliminary lab results show the blackbirds that fell from the sky in central Arkansas died from blunt force trauma

Does anyone buy this crap?

[Mariner]

The bigger question is: How does one inflict blunt force trauma on 5000 bird in the air at the same time?

Well, the John Edwards ambulance-chasers who might be able to extract legal liability from the suspected fireworks that might have panicked the birdies into possibly running into each other might buy it if they think they can sell it to a jury.

Shouldn’t there be mixed species?

How come it doesn’t happen every New Years and 4th of July.

Don’t they know the answer to every question is global warming or Bush to blame?

Well that’s obvious — the UFO. <-—Sarcasm

I blame Amish extremists. They’re merciless extremism knows no bounds.

[sinanju]

With a “whack-whack” here and a “whack-whack” there, I guess...

[Cisco Nix]

NO! BS

[devane617]

Good question..People seem to easily pass it off to weather, etc., but BS. We would see tis all the time if that were the case...

[patriot preacher]

Birds often die from blunt force trauma when they smash into the ground... So maybe the question is, why’d 5,000 birds all of a sudden crash to the ground?

[REDWOOD99]

Crash ‘em into something. The ground would work.

It was those speeding, invisible UFO's that did it. Like a car hitting bugs. Either that or Helen Thomas was in the area......... que in the music for In Search of with Leonard Nemoy

[Hunton Peck]

I think it means they were alive when they hit the ground. Which begs the question . . .

[LukeL]

Ever hear of the mystery goo that fell over a Washington town a couple of times and made many people sick?

We know the government has done many tests on us and that is what they have disclosed.

[pankot]

Probably bumped into a thunderhead.

[dragonblustar]

Well that’s obvious — the UFO. <-—Sarcasm

You beat me to it!

[Hunton Peck]

Any windmill farms in the area?

Easy if you’re Jackie Chan with a baseball bat.

[Retired Chemist]

The Vets in Arkansas said the died from blunt force trauma so this just verifies what they determined.
