So it begins.

It's us Chickens next i tell ya! TO THE BUNKER

Mars got to the year 2012 before earth and that means one thing... We are next!

December 21st 2012.Thats a problem for future me :downs:

Nope

Good thing I dont like fish, but if they kill pigs im fucked

Anyone else reminded of that movie? "The Core"?

first the fish then the birds then humans :byodood:

episode 3 comes out on dooms day 2012

Fuuuuck. [quote]It was like a grisly scene from a horror film. On Sunday night, over a quiet Somerset house, scores of swooping starlings tumbled out of the sky and fell, dead, into a single front garden. Covering an area 12ft across, more than 100 birds carpeted the garden, each with blood oozing from its beak and curled up claws. Most had died, although some flapped lamely, clearly in pain until the RSPCA put them out of their misery. dead birds An RSPCA animal welfare officer was called in by Julie Knight to collect the dozens of dead birds from her garden in Coxley, Somerset Householder Julie Knight, 53, returned to her home in the quiet village of Coxley at 4.15pm to find the macabre scene, which has mystified experts. An RSPCA expert said the cause of the deaths was 'a mystery', adding that the only plausible explanation was that the flock were being chased by a bird of prey and hit the ground as they changed direction Julie, a nurse, said: 'It was like something out of an horror film - like Hitchcock's The Birds - it was absolutely terrifying. Julie Knight Nurse Julie Knight said discovering the birds was like something from a horror film 'The sky was raining starlings. One of my neighbours saw them. They seemed to just fall out of the sky. About 70 were dead straight away. 'The only way to describe what they looked like is that they seemed to have had a fright and were petrified. 'We called out the RSPCA and their animal welfare officer took a few away in cages and euthanised the rest. 'There must have been over 100 birds in total. I've been a country girl all my life and I've never seen anything like it.' Some of the bodies fell into the boughs of a tree, where a number of distressed surviving birds perched. Just six survived. The uncanny scene in Mrs Knight's garden mirrored that of an episode of cult Channel 5 hit Flash forward, in which a flock of crows falls out of the sky in Somalia. Similar incidents of flocks of birds plummeting to earth have been reported all over the world, with pesticides and collisions sometimes being blamed. Mrs Knight added: 'I'm worried about what could have killed them because I have a young grandson and two cats that are often in my garden. 'My only thoughts are that the birds, who are greedy in nature, had been eating crops sprayed with weedkiller and were poisoned - but it's all very weird.' Lloyd Scott, from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, said: 'This is one of the oddest things I've ever heard about. 'We've certainly never come across anything similar.' rspca An RSPCA Animal Welfare Officer poses with a number of the dead birds - but even the animal experts are unsure why they died He said it was unlikely that the birds had flown into each other in confusion. 'Starlings have natural habits and behaviour, when flying around in a murmuration they relate each movement to the seven birds closest to them. 'They are hardwired into doing this and on instinct they stay away from each other.' He speculated that the birds may have flown into a glass conservatory while taking part in their sky dance, but Mrs Knight insisted they had simply fallen out of the sky. Post mortems on the starlings carried out today proved inconclusive. They were all found to have physical injuries - with most suffering either broken wings or a shattered beak - but no underlying health problems or toxins which could explain their sudden deaths. starlings In the hit BBC thriller series Flash Forward (pictured) crows fell from the sky, in a spooky incident which mirrored that at Mrs Knight's Somerset house on Sunday RSPCA spokesman Helen Cohen said the cause of the incident was 'still a mystery'. She said: 'We were informed that a lady had reported many dead or dying starlings on her property. This is obviously an extremely unusual occurrence. 'Tests were carried out on some of the birds and they were found to have physical injuries but we could find no evidence of any health issues which could explain what had happened. 'We know they did not strike power cables because they would have fallen directly beneath and there are none nearby. starling Flocks of hundreds or even thousands of starlings often fly togther, seemingly as one, with each bird closely watching seven others to determine the direction of the 'murmuration' (file photo) 'The only possible explanation we can think of is that something has caused the flock to suddenly change their direction of flight and caused them to hit the ground. 'It could have been that a bird of prey could have scared them into doing this, but it is still a mystery really.'[/quote] [url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1256840/Mystery-scores-starlings-fall-sky-lay-dying--single-garden.html[/url]

Daily mail. But still, this is getting rediculous.

Source is in Chinese thus is translated. [quote]We know that birds navigate by the magnetic field, only the magnetic field changes, and the birds will be lost fall, Migratory birds rely on the body's "biological compass" to determine the direction is "open secret", but it is not clear how the perception of the magnetic field of birds. "Nobody knows it (the magnetic induction system) to work," Patterson said Murray, "magnetic induction principle is that people understand the nature, at least so far the (principle)." How long migratory birds perceive the magnetic field on two main points. One view is that the birds beak cells can sense the Earth's magnetic field and pass the message through the nervous system to the brain; another point of view, birds eye in the photoreceptor cells can "see" the magnetic field, and the information through another way to the brain is referred to as "N clusters" light processing area. Specific proteins in migratory birds eye "cryptochrome" Maybe this is the light-dependent magnetic field sensing of the media. Light stimulation of this protein produced a pair of free radicals, free radicals can be carried by the electron spin may be able to perceive the special properties of Earth's magnetic field. In general, the magnetic elements of change is very small, but with the solar activity and geomagnetic storms are closely related phenomena, but it happened very suddenly. This is because the intense sunspot activity, when the energy released is equivalent to some one hundred thousand hydrogen bomb blast, while a large number of charged particles ejected. These charged particles hitting the Earth forming a powerful magnetic field to the magnetic field superposition, so that under normal circumstances, the magnetic elements changed dramatically, causing "magnetic storms." Occurs when the magnetic storm on Earth many strange phenomena occur. Over the North Pole in the dark there will be a beautiful aurora. The compass will swing, short-wave radio broadcasts suddenly, relying on the magnetic field "navigation" will be lost pigeons, flying around. To cosmic rays and magnetic fields can stop high-energy charged particles from the sun is harmful organisms from the natural umbrella. There may be and the polarity of the magnetic field changes related to conversion, according to Indian newspaper reports, Hyderabad (Hyderabad), a company in 2012, researchers predicted that the Earth and the Sun's magnetic poles will reverse. Earth's magnetic reversal Earth's magnetic field is the occurrence of the Arctic and Antarctic swap, in the course of the earth will experience at some point in time there is no magnetic field in the state. Such a thing in human history not recorded, so only through computer simulation of its impact. Hyderabad model based on the Earth and the Sun's magnetic field in addition to the conversion[/quote] [url]http://www.chou4.com/ky/showArticle.htm?topTypeId=62&articleId=3449[/url] Seems the most probable explanation... and I always thought from the beginning that all those events were related to the magnetic field.

Not England, too :ohdear:

That translation makes me :smith:

I suggested the same thing to a friend this morning, doesn't explain the fish though and why it's only affecting those damn black birds.

[QUOTE=The mouse;27216885]I bet this happens all the time, now people are just more aware of it.[/QUOTE] Yeah, the news people are going to be frontpaging any weird animal deaths now because they know people will assume it's related

reminds me of [img]http://littleimg.com/files/18129_ao78d/core_ver2.jpg[/img]

Huh, so maybe the whole magnetic reversal hoohah has something to do with our bird problems? Either that or it's just a coincidence.

2012. They got it wrong by a year.

[QUOTE=DeanWinchester;27217884]Last updated at 8:12 AM on 11th March 2010 Old news.[/QUOTE] quoted before shit storm.

ITN is going to spammed with shit like this like during the earthquake season. We had several minor quake threads every week, even though they happen all the time, the media thought they were linked.

I bet one whole penny that someone will do some kind of horrible badage boys parody of these bird death articles

My physics teacher said they would blame it on this in class a few hours ago.

Only because people watched The Core.

With the birds dying, I wondered if it might have been the magnetic field. We're due for a magnetic reversal any time now.

Lies. The only possible explanation is that the CIA is behind it!

I like the new years fireworks explanation. I'm going to go with that./denial
