There have been at least three incidents of falling bodily waste in the last few weeks in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Saxony, according to the daily Bild Zeitung.
Although chunks of ice have been known to fall from aircraft in the past, the string of recent incidents has officials scratching their heads, but thankful that no-one has been hurt so far.
In Rodersdorf, Saxony two weekends ago, an 81 year-old pensioner heard something hitting his roof. Upon further investigation he found 20-centimetre frozen balls in his garden that stank terribly.
And earlier in February a 1.5-kilo chunk of urine crashed into a familys garden in Niefern, Baden-Württemberg.
A family in Nuremberg had a similar experience when a 2-kilo piece of ice smashed into its garden.
I was relaxing in our living room. Suddenly there was a huge bang, 59-year-old Erika Keil told Bild. I thought our roof was caving in.
Investigating officials said the ice is likely falling from leaky aeroplane toilets.
When an aeroplanes water tank is not closed, water trickles out, freezes and falls off, a Nuremberg airport official told Bild.
Falling ice whether from human waste or ice that builds up on the plane and then drops to earth is a common phenomenon. Though no-one is known to have been killed by it, there have been injuries.
In 2009, for instance, a British pensioner in Bristol was bruised after a block of ice fell from a plane and hit his thigh.

I suppose that means they should all carry umbrellas, even if pigs don’t fly.
Alliteration lives! (at least in the headline) Holy flerkinshnit!
Was this not covered in the reasearch book on the subject written by that guy named Who Flung Poo?
“Will Joe Dirt please pick up the brown courtesy phone ... Joe Dirt”
Well once upon a time the Almighty rained down manna bread from heaven however what’s been coming down now is much more deserving for mankind.
The only thing that would have made that headline better is if it had happened in Finland.
Charles Forte speculated that this was waste dumps from passing space craft. ;-)

It’s that damn Otto again with his crap catapault. He freezes it so it’ll fly farther.

Hmm. Has anyone correlated the dates between the flying loads of crap and Moochelle’s monthly vacation schedule?
My thoughts also.
“Twenty centimetre frozen balls in his garden that stank terribly” - You harvest the cantaloupe in the Fall, not the Spring. Some people have green thumbs, others have black heads and they use clearasil.
“Variety” will be calling you shortly.
I’m sure that phrase is hilarious in the original German, something about fliegen und gefahrten no doubt.
