I posted an article about other times it has happened. It isn’t that uncommon but it is still very weird.

I never get British comedy.

I didn't get where I am today without knowing that "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin" was one of the funniest shows ever made.

“Red tide. put your tin foil hats away”

Fish would all be dead from the toxins in the water and people that got near it and breathed in the toxins would also get sick.

That has to be a dye of some kind.

A food coloring dye factory is upriver?

There couldn’t possibly be a connection.
