The Sky Is Falling: A Week Of Odd Incidents

During the first week of the new year, birds fell from the sky, a shark attacked a boat, and bees continued to disappear.

Was this the end of the world? For a few days, it seemed like nobody knew what was going on.  Some thought the fireworks on New Year's Eve were the culprit. It was later  explained that, though disturbing, birds tumbling from the sky isn't  all that unusual, and while this recent rash of  dead fish, crabs, and birds may seem highly suspect, the AP writes that  "federal records show they happen on average every other day somewhere  in North America."

Then there were the three men fishing off the coast of Austrailia.  While relaxing on their fishing boat, a great white shark appeared. Then things  got weird when the shark attacked the boat's motor.  They were a bit scared, not enough to put down their video camera.
