More than 50 dead geese fall from Idaho sky in 'freak accident'

BigV · 04-11-2018, 11:25 PM

maybe they're napping, Norwegian Blue-style. I have a goose down pillow and it's positively narcoleptive. (yeah, just made up that wurd)

Yeah lightening. Don't you go checking them for chemical exposure out there.

The Russians are now attacking Idaho Snow Geese with bio-chemical weapons?

Clearly we have made America Great again. Everyone is now saying, "Oh, great."

I'm wondering why there was no obvious scorching on those lightning-struck geeses. Almost everything I've seen pictures/video of that's been struck by lightning, lightning left a mark.

I wonder if the geese were caught in a monstrous updraft, if they could have been carried high enough into the atmosphere for the air pressure in their lungs to account for the burst lungs? There was severe weather in the area.

Can that even happen?

A Home DNA Test Kit For Humans Found This Golden Retriever Would Make a Great Cyclist

A journalist working for NBC 5 in the US has road-tested a handful of mail-order DNA analysis services, only to find they all gave conflicting results.
On top of that, one of the companies couldn't even recognise the difference between human DNA and that of a dog named Bailey.
According to their report, Bailey is genetically well suited to playing basketball and long distance cycling.

I researched my family history a few years ago and essentially I come from a long line of English peasantry.
I did, however, find that my 4 x great grandfather on my mother's side was born in Copenhagen in 1769.
Do you think that if I sent off my DNA for testing the results would conclude that I am a Great Dane?

Weird news? That's weird as in completely devoid of a sense of self-preservation.

French tourists chased by cheetahs after leaving car in Dutch safari park

A French family on holiday in the Netherlands have had a narrow escape at the Beekse Bergen safari park after being chased by cheetahs. A video circulating on YouTube shows how the family got out of their car twice, only to make a run for it after the cheetahs moved in for the kill. First two adults got out of the car with a child to get a closer look at a group of cheetahs, much to the surprise of the Dutch people in the following car, who filmed the incident. They got back in their car and drove off, only to be spotted a short while later walking on the heather fields close to the animals. The cheetahs then got up and started moving towards them in a menacing fashion. The French tourists quickly returned to their car. A spokesman for the safari park told broadcaster NOS that it is strictly forbidden to leave your car during the visit. ‘We inform visitors about the risks in several languages throughout the park,’ the spokesman said. In 2009, a nine-year-old boy was bitten on the arm by a cheetah after leaving his family’s car.

In a last ditch move they probably quoted something by Voltaire.
That would sap the will to live in any sentient creature.

No problem, just throw the kid and run.

To be fair, they're not legally allowed to tell you about some of the most important genes, because the discoverers of those genes have patented them. They can say you have the gene, but they can't tell you that we know this gene is highly linked to a particular disease because that would constitute medical advice. So lots of these services pad their reports with stuff like "you have the 'stinky pee when you eat asparagus' gene!" (No shit, Sherlock, I've got a lifetime of evidence for that one.)

Fortunately, the internet doesn't care about your stupid medical patents, and once you have your raw DNA data, there are separate public databases you can upload it into and comb through yourself.

The French tourists probably chalked it up as an interspecies social experiment and forgot about it the next day.
