Unexplained shower of apples falls from sky over town

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.

[Young Werther]

When Apples showers they come your way????

[lysie]

Every time it rains it rain... apples from heaven.

[Hoodat]

How do you like them apples?

[momtothree]

When life hands you apples.... make pie.

[gorush]

Bananas are my favorite because they have appeal.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Luckily, they weren’t Road Apples!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Oh my God, it’s a sign from Steve Jobs!

[Winstons Julia]

I told God that the Dyson is a powerful thing.

[bgill]

Most likely they fell from a plane. Not that an airline would admit to it because of law suits and instead quietly replace the “lost in transit” crates.

Newton's birthday? Thanks Young Werther.

Mysterious Apple Yetis?

(That’s a lot more than 100 apples)

[Albion Wilde]

Oh my God, it’s a sign from Steve Jobs

ROFLMAO!!

[NewHampshireDuo]

Wow - shades of Charles Fort.

[Charles Martel]

Coventry residents have offered several competing explanations for the event, including a passing plane, roving teenage pranksters--and, yes, witches.

Well, there ya go. Witches. ;-)

[varon]

Anybody check with the Myth Busters to see what they’ve been up to lately?

[Cvengr]

Somewhere an apple orchard war has intensified.

[Cvengr]

Whadjamean?

That picture is of the orchard where the apples began to magically rise from the surface, and accelerate skyward.

Luckily there weren’t any cows nearby. (Alien apple abduction?)

[JRandomFreeper]

I LOLed so hard that I scared the catz out of the room.

[mamelukesabre]

Someone is fooling around with a trebuchet again. That’s my theory.

[Fightin Whitey]

Didja hear about the two nuts walking down the street in a bad part of town?

One was a salted.

[steveo]

Doctor repellant...

[Fightin Whitey]

re: the God angle

You’ll notice it happened just around Eve.

[I see my hands]

Eve should have more patient.

There has to be a TFOA report somewhere... (things falling off/out aircraft...)

[gorush]

A baby seal walks into a club...

[gorush]

Didja hear about the agnostic, dyslexic insomniac? Poor guy lay awake all night wondering if there really IS a dog.

[GraceG]

GUILTY

[tet68]

My gosh, imagine if this had happened to Newton!!!

[gorush]

The last time I golfed I only hit two good balls all day. ...and THAT was when I stepped on a rake in the sand trap.

I haven't spoken to my wife in over three months...we're not fighting, I just don't like to interrupt.

[Fightin Whitey]

Hear the story about the tornado that swept up an apple orchard?

Had a twist at the end....

[Dysart]

Them apples are an offering from Rome.

[CrazyIvan]

Dang. Beat me to it.

[TheOldLady]

Move along, nothing to see here, not pinging you, nope. Not me.

Took me a moment. But OUCH! then LOL.

[Happy Rain]

Charles Fort has risen from the grave.

Grab me an iPod Touch.

Dorothy was trying to steal apples again.

The apples were not of a quality that anyone would transport by plane (or anything)

I suspect

[RegulatorCountry]

Tomatoes were once known as Love Apples, or more sonorously by the French as Pommes d'Amour.

So, that whole toh-MAY-toh, toh-MAH-toh conundrum aside, it was Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes. That, or those cranky sentient apple trees of Oz have quite the throwing arm.

witty......they bring the flours that fall in May

[AnonymousConservative]

This happened in Florida.

Police aviation is notoriously a little crazy. Aggressive guys, given high powered, high flying, multi-ton, hunks of metal to play with daily, and functionally exempt from all rules and regs over what they can do.

OJ Simpson was complaining that at 3:30 to 4:00 AM he was being awakened by hundreds of golf balls pummeling his roof all at once.

Although nobody ever got caught, there were indications that a police chopper was in the vicinty when the balls would drop. Most thought somebody was bringing a bucket or two of golf balls to work each night, and having some fun. Funny thing - cops said it was just unsolvable.

Can’t imagine what a hundred golf balls, dropped from 500 feet would sound like.

In this case, it could be some young goofs with a license, just being dumb.

People wondered if Jobs went up or down... now we know!

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

You gotta love the misused quote marks on that sign. It’s a perfect candidate for the blog of misplaced quotation marks.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

Did you hear about the stick up on the bridge?

It’s still up there.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

What’s brown and sticky?

A stick.

[Danae]

Cloudy with a chance of apple...

[going hot]

Yeah, but I heard the robber only got peanuts.

[Fightin Whitey]

Yes but afterward the victim was but a shell of his former self!

[going hot]

And suffered from shell shock
