Earthworms Rain From Sky in Norway

#1

In a report that will probably seem familiar to readers of Charles Fort, thousands of earthworms are being reported to have fallen from the sky onto the snows of a Norwegian mountain. At first they seemed to be dead, but some moved when touched.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/...81493.html

The newspaper account mentions that many other events of this kind have been reported as far back as ancient times. (The Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder records falls of frogs and fish in his Natural History.)

Norwegian scientists are predictably speculating about tornadoes and waterspouts, as many others have before them.

As Fort recognized, these are classic anomalous events, that just don't seem to fit, somehow.

The really weird thing about all these creature rains is that there is normally just one or two species involved, and no mud or plants or other debris that would normally also be picked up by a waterspout. Fish of the same species, frogs of the same species, worms of the same species. A waterspout simply cannot exert that sort of selective power in what it picks up.

I agree, MR. That's why I'm skeptical about the tornadoes and waterspouts theory.
