I suspect you are right....test run?

Damn! I knew I shouldn't have installed that cloaking device on the Goodyear blimp.

I'm guessing Sender is right: just another day at the Happy Meal toy factory.

Or perhaps a little "oops" at the People's Liberation Army Subatomic Baby Milk Research Concern.

This sounds like a typical day of whitewing dove hunting in Mexico.

relying on my GPS

GPS will be fine. That car compass on your dashboard won't be much good, though.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Wouldn't it be a cool "X-Files" episode if they determined that all the birds died from blunt force trauma?

[steve86]

True, avian flu would not cause a flock to fall out of the sky.

Well, not all in one spot, but if you've ever seen a small bird take ill and die...it can look fine and then a couple minutes later be dead.

..and God noted!

[P-Marlowe]

Don't you know: it's global warming.

They were already roasted before they hit the ground?

Yummmm.

[hummingbird]

Who left the lab door open?!

[Sender]

Birds have a high metabolism and things can happen fast...but what are the odds of an entire flock of thousands of birds all succumbing to the flu at the same instant...while they are all feeling chipper enough to fly?

[hummingbird]

Maybe China helped hide WMD's for Iraq....little accident happened....?

[RUCKUS INC.]

You guys are all wrong... It's a cleverly devised promotional gimmick for the movie "The Day After Tomorrow"

[Fiddlstix]

Its Bush's fault!

And Nixon's too!

Now, now.......
Let's not forget Reagan.

[Petronski]

And two thousand portions of Kung Pao Chicken were ready about 10-15 minutes later.

10,000 birds:

If it rained birds over an acre in a minute, that would be one thing, but if it rained birds over 100 square miles in a day, it might be hard to know anything had happened.
