I take it the article's author isn't big on "sciencey" things?

Between this thread and the one about the hybrid sharks, I'm guessing you're the obiligatory "Those scientists are so wrong LOL/This sucks/MEH" wankstick when it comes to anything aquatic. Congrats.

Oh Christ. You mean we're going to have to deal with article after article like this all goddamn year because of all the rubes who think the world is going to end?

Clearly the Mayans were to prophetic...that's why they're still the dominant culture on the planet. Oh, wait...

Well, actually, they THOUGHT it was the herring, but it turned out to be something quite a bit more frightening than even that!

fta: "They want to conduct tests on the fish to see if they were ... simply swept ashore by a storm."

What test determines that?

I thought so, but it was something else entirely.

If they had just made it there sooner, this would have been an EPIC fish&chips thread.

Have we become so lazy/ADD as a people that news sites now have to have a cliff notes synopsis of the article above the article? The entire article is only 3 short paragraphs long.

To rednecks, herring are not a problem, they are an opportunity.

Some theories on why 20 tonnes of dead herring might end up on a Norwegian beach:

1) Chased by a predator (IN ARTICLE)
2) Swept ashore by strong wind-driven tides (IN ARTICLE)
3) Dumped by fishing boat to lighten load during bad weather
4) Dumped by a poacher to lighten load in a chase by the coast guard
5) Fortean rain of fish that just happened to be on a beach instead of in a field or suburb
6) School of fish spontaneously evolve the power to teleport but can't control it
7) UFO accidentally sweeps up school of herring when exiting ocean and they fall on the beach
8) Jesus went to a picnic and forgot the bread
9) The small dog in the picture was very good at catching fish
10) It's performance art.
