IT FELL From The SKY! MEAT!!!

July 3rd 2008 10:15
meat
All sorts of strange and bizarre items have fallen from the sky in the past, but how would you feel if a lump of fresh meat landed in your lap?

In 1851 soldiers at a base out near San Francisco were practising drills when they were hit by blood and pieces of meat, from a cloudless sky.

North Carolina was also showered with blood, brains, pieces of meat and liver during the same year.

In 1876 a woman from Kentucky was in her garden when fresh meat began to shower her in snowflake like sizes from the again cloudless sky.
Two nearby men tasted it (why does that not surprise me!) and thought it tasted like either venison or mutton. Scientists later tested it to find it was a random selection of lung tissue and muscle fibres. The explanation given was that a flock of buzzards had most likely regurgitated the matter while flying overhead.
