Look who's back - and with a new post:
"Alien Squid? Flying Frogs?
A Korean fisherman, trolling off the coast of the Falkland
Islands, was knocked unconscious by a single frozen squid that
fell from the sky and knocked him on the head. Why was there a
squid in the sky? Where did this squid come from? Why was it
frozen? This is just one example of weird rain.
Weird rain is one of the more bizarre - and still largely
unexplained - phenomena that is periodically reported from all
corners of the globe. There have been accounts of frog rain,
fish rain, squid rain, worm rain, even alligator rain. One
possible explanation for these odd occurrences is that a tornado
or whirlwind picked up the animals from a shallow body of water
and carried them (sometimes for hundreds of miles) before
dropping them on a bewildered populace. This explanation has yet
to be proved, and it can't account for most of the documented
incidents listed below. Another explanation is that aliens are
returning the animals they have used for experiments back to the
areas in which they were captured.
Here are some of the more unusual cases, out of the
thousands of reports over the years, that defy all rational
explanation:
· 1841: The American Journal of Science confirmed a shower of
blood, fat and muscle tissue that fell on a tobacco farm near
Lebanon, Tennessee in August. Field workers, who actually
experienced this weird shower, said they heard a rattling noise
and saw "drops of blood...fell from a red cloud which was flying
over."
· 1861: Singapore reported a rain of fish following an
earthquake.
· 1869: J. Hudson's farm in Los Nietos Township, California
endured a rain of flesh and blood for three minutes and covered
several acres.
· 1873: Scientific American reported that Kansas City, Missouri
was blanketed with frogs that dropped from the sky during a
storm.
· 1877: The New York Times reported that several one-foot-long
alligators fell on J. L. Smith's farm in South Carolina. They
landed, unharmed, and started crawling around.
· 1881: A thunderstorm in Worcester, England, brought down tons
of periwinkles and hermit crabs.
· 1890: Popular Science News reported that blood rained down on
Messignadi, Calabria in Italy - bird's blood. It was speculated
that the birds were somehow torn apart by violent winds,
although there were no such winds at the time. No other parts of
the bird were found.
· 1901: Minneapolis, Minnesota was pelted with frogs and toads
in July. A news item stated: "When the storm was at its
highest... there appeared as if descending directly from the sky
a huge green mass. Then followed a peculiar patter, unlike that
of rain or hail. When the storm abated the people found, three
inches deep and covering an area of more than four blocks, a
collection of a most striking variety of frogs... so thick in
some places [that] travel was impossible."
· 1948: Bournemouth, England golfers received a shower of
herring.
· 1956: In an otherwise clear sky in Chilatchee, Alabama, a
woman and her husband watched as a small dark cloud formed in
the sky. When it was overhead, the cloud released its contents:
rain, catfish, bass and bream - all of the fish alive. The dark
cloud had turned to white, and then dispersed.
· 1966: Father Leonard Bourne was dashing through a downpour
across a courtyard in North Sydney, Australia, when a large fish
fell from the sky and landed on his shoulder. The priest nearly
caught it as it slid down his chest, but it squirmed away, fell
to the flooded ground and swam away.
· 1981: One morning in May the citizens of Naphlion, Greece,
awoke to find small green frogs falling from the sky. The Greek
Meteorological Institute surmised they were picked up by a
strong wind. The species of frog was native to North Africa.
· 1982 to 1986: Kernels of corn rained down on several houses in
Evans, Colorado - tons of it, according to Gary Bryan, one of
the residents. Oddly, there were no cornfields in the area that
might account for the phenomenon.
· 1989: Ipswich, Australia’s Harold and Degen's front lawn was
covered with about 800 sardines that rained from above during a
light shower.
· 1995: Reports of Fortean Times Online from claim Nellie Straw
of Sheffield, England, was driving through Scotland on holiday
with her family when they encountered a severe storm dropping
rain and hundreds of frogs.
· 1996: In November, a town in southern Tasmania was slimed with
white-clear jelly-like substances on their property. Apparently,
it had rained either fish eggs or baby jellyfish.
· 2001: In July, red rain fell on Kerala, India. At first it was
thought that a meteor was responsible for the strange-colored
rain, but an analysis showed that the water was filled with
unexplained fungal spores.
· 2001: In August, Wichita, Kansas news reports stated that
"thousands of dried corn leaves fell over east Wichita - from
about Central Avenue to 37th Street North, along Woodlawn
Boulevard and on east - each about 20 to 30 inches long."
Is this all just a strange, natural phenomenon? Are aliens
playing tricks on us? Is the sky simply falling? Will we ever
find out? Life is messy, inconsistent, and it's seldom when
anything ever really gets resolved."

The last part being in bold makes me feel like its CHIKARA
saying goodbye for good. I do think if this was the actual end
of CHIKARA, then it was a big "F you" to the fans. If its just a
storyline though, its one of the best.

that's an odd one, re: the bold statement.
however, let us not overlook the significance of "alien squid
falling from the sky."

How about these parts: "A Korean fisherman, TROLLING..." and
"Are aliens playing tricks with us?"
Except for the final lines, the whole post is copy-pasted from
this one:

I'm sick and tired of all of this. Fake twitters, no answers at
all... Maybe I'm a little impatient, but this situation is a
real mess.

There was another post yesterday:
The Disappearance of Shergar
"On a foggy evening, February 8, 1983, a group of at least six
men wearing balaclavas and armed with guns appeared at the
Ballymany Stud Farm in Co Kildare, Ireland owned by James
Fitzgerald. At 8:30p, James thought he heard a car in the yard.
He listened, heard nothing more, and forgot about it. Ten
minutes later the men barged into the house, pointed guns at the
family and held them in the kitchen. They only wanted one of
them. "We've come for Shergar," they said. "We want £2m for
him." Shergar was the retired racehorse in the stable outside.
It is now 30 years after he was kidnapped from Ballymany and
what happened to him after he was kidnapped is still a mystery.
There are a number of theories involving the IRA, Colonel
Gadaffi and the Mafia being among the most lurid. One story
suggests that the IRA kidnapped the horse for Gadaffi in return
for weapons. Another suggests that the New Orleans mafia took
him.
Shergar was arguably the greatest racehorse ever. He was an
Irish racehorse born in 1978. He was the winner of the 1981
Epsom Derby by a record 10 lengths, the longest winning margin
in the 226-year race history. The Observer newspaper placed the
win in its 100 Most Memorable Sporting Moments of the Twentieth
Century. Shergar was named European Horse of the Year in 1981
and retired from racing that September. Only two years later,
he was stolen. The incident has been the inspiration for several
books, documentaries and a film.
Shergar dominated his first four races, winning at least above
four lengths, as much as twelve. The fourth race Shergar won was
the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot. After
that came his only failure as a three year old. For some reason
he did not run anywhere near his best. He only managed fourth
place in the St. Leger Stakes at Doncaster. Shergar finished
behind Cut Above, a horse he had beaten decisively in the Irish
Derby. Shergar's racing career was over. His six wins had earned
£436,000.
In October 1981 Shergar arrived in Newbridge. Greeted by the
town band and the cheers of schoolchildren waving flags in the
Aga Khan's green and red racing colors, he was paraded up the
main street. The Aga Khan decided to keep Shergar in Ireland. It
defied those who had expected his removal to the United States.
During his retirement and his new life as a breeding horse,
Shergar produced 35 foals from his first and only season. The
best of the offspring went on to be 1986 Irish St. Leger winner
Authaal. The syndicate was able to charge a stud fee of £50,000
- £80,000 for Shergar and if his offspring did well on the track
the fee would have doubled. But, despite the thoroughbred’s
value, the Ballymany Stud was poorly protected and the criminal
gang had little difficulty in gaining access. The theft was the
first of its kind in Ireland.
The investigation faced difficulty due to planning by the gang,
which had selected the crime on the day of the biggest horse
sales in the country. Horseboxes had passed along every road in
Ireland. Leading the investigation was Chief Superintendent Jim
"Spud" Murphy, who told reporters, “A clue... that is what we
haven’t got.
Despite numerous reported sightings and rumors of secret
negotiations in the days following the theft there was little
new information. However, the thieves made their presence known,
and a price. Initially, they requested negotiations with three
racing journalists, John Oaksey and Derek Thompson both working
for ITV and Peter Campling working for the Sun. On Thursday
morning he received a call telling him that the horse "had an
accident" and was "dead". Someone else claiming to be
representing the thieves said that the horse was alive and well.
Four days after the abduction, the thieves made their last call.
The syndicate issued a statement blaming the IRA for the crime.
The thieves have yet to be brought to justice. Several theories
as to their identity and motives have been put forward.
The strongest suspect for the theft is the Provisional Irish
Republican Army, whose motive was to raise money for arms. This
theory was further supported by Sean O'Callaghan in his book The
Informer. He claims that the whole scheme was masterminded by
Kevin Mallon and when Shergar panicked, so did the team,
resulting in the horse being shot. He also claimed that Shergar
was probably shot within hours of being snatched. The thieves,
who had no prior experience with the nervous, highly-strung
nature of a thoroughbred stallion, were unable to handle him. It
was as if the horse said, “I'm not locked up in here with YOU.
You're locked up in here with ME.”
A pit was allegedly dug in the desolate mountains near
Ballinamore, County Leitrim. The body was dragged into it and
quickly covered over. No markers were left at the grave.
O’Callaghan alleged the gang was part of the IRA's special
operations unit, formed with the aim of raising funds through
crime. Shergar was to be its first victim, selected because of
the wealth of his assumed owner, and the misapprehension that
theft of a horse would cause less public outcry than kidnapping
a person. The IRA have never officially claimed responsibility
for stealing Shergar.
Shergar's remains have never been found and the thieves have
never been officially identified. The Sunday Telegraph reported
that four days after Shergar was seized, the Army Council
realized they would never collect a ransom. They decided to
release the horse, but due to heavy surveillance on Mallon and
under the eyes of the entire Irish public, the thieves felt it
was impossible to move Shergar or free the horse near where he
was held. Mallon thought the horse to be injured, and ordered
his execution.
The two thieves, inexperienced in handling racehorses and with
no prior knowledge of humane euthanization techniques, went to
the remote stable where Shergar was being held and opened fire
with a machine gun. A former IRA member involved described the
scene to The Sunday Telegraph: "Shergar was machine gunned to
death. There was blood everywhere and the horse even slipped on
his own blood. There was lots of cussin' and swearin' because
the horse wouldn't die. It was a very bloody death." Shergar
slowly bled to death.
The disappearance of Shergar was made into a Hollywood film,
Shergar, starring Ian Holm and Mickey Rourke, and directed by
Dennis Lewiston.
What ever happened to Shergar? Was he, in fact, gunned down?
Maybe he died dying the escape? Maybe he went on to procreate
several more champion racehorses? Maybe he was just made into
glue… We may never know what happened to Shergar. All we know is
that is in a conspiracy that will never be uncovered."

well that's an odd one. The one thing that sticks out to me is "
It was as if the horse said, “I'm not locked up in here with
YOU. You're locked up in here with ME.” An obvious Watchmen
reference. No idea how or if this relates to anything going on
though.
