Artist Chris Domino made this cuckoo clock inspired by the horror movie The Shining. Every hour on the hour, Jack Nicholson's head pokes through the door and says "Here's Johnny!" Then the Shelly Duval figure screams.
My mum worked in London during the war and for some years after - she remembers the pea-souper fogs. She said you couldn't see your hand in front of your face and that bus drivers had to have someone hanging out of the window following the kerb. She also remembers a particularly cold winter just after the war when pigeons were dying on the wing and just falling out of the sky at you.
So waterspouts don't suck up water, but they suck up animals and algae? I think these scientists need to start talking to each other before publishing their findings.
Yeah underpantsgnome, that's exactly what I was thinking!! According to the first article on waterspouts, they are just condensation, but the next ones about raining red and the next about raining fish, say just the opposite!! I hate this kind of conflicting evidence. It makes mores sense to me that something supernatural is happening in the last two cases.
Yeah, I just always assumed that waterspouts were responsible for that frogs and fish nonsense was true until I read the skeptoid article linked above. So it's a little disappointing when Neatorama fails to research these things and set the record straight.
Cola, researchers often develop theories based on what information is available to them at the time. Right now those theories are the most widely accepted by scientists and even the skeptic's article had comments contradicting his facts. As I said in the intro, many of these have yet to be fully understood.

...though I would be freaked out if I owned this.
The first thing that popped into my mind was the clock Danny found in the I-forget-the-name-of-the-room room.

Punctuation please.
My precious......
It's Raining Frogs and Fish
In conclusion: Needs more googling!
