In case you needed more evidence of an impending apocalypse: Hundreds of dead birds dropped from the sky over I-95 during the Wednesday evening commute, according to WJLA.

The deceased starlings scrambled traffic in the northbound travel lanes in Laurel and startled commuters, some of them no doubt familiar with similar events in Arkansas in early 2011 — and again this January — in which thousands of otherwise healthy birds dropped from the sky.
But don’t get excited, Doomsday theorists: Loud noises (possibly fireworks) were identified as the culprit in the January 2011 dropping, and bad weather can also send frenzied birds into stationary objects. Maryland Department of Natural Resources biologist Peter Bedel said the I-95 birds probably just flew into a truck.

Lol. Yeah, blame it on the truck.

Scientists finally figured out why that happened in the 60s. It was an article on CNN last year I believe. Turns out it was an algae the birds were eating that was toxic/disorienting.
they were smokin pot.
That was a diplomatic mission sent by the birds. They will interpret this outcome as a an act of war.
They outnumber us maybe 10 to 1, and they have air superiority.
All is not lost. According to some top-secret FEMA documents uncovered by an anonymous blogger, the supposed FEMA prison camps are in fact cat-breeding facilities aimed at building stockpiles for the upcoming war against the descendants of the dinosaurs.
Actually, the full story is that the camps do also serve as prisons, but only for old ladies who have lost their marbles. It’s a symbiotic arrangement.
Those trucks will get what’s coming to them soon enough
