Drunk birds in Romania

Drunk Birds in Romania

a large amount of starlings were found dead in Romania outside of Bucharest recently.

So those birds that fell out of the sky were drunk on wine, that is the conclusion, nothing more than that, were they all partying it up and they didn't realize they shouldnt fly or did they agree to just get as hammered as they could and decided they were all okay to fly? They forgot to keep one sober bird to navigate home, this story is eerily reminiscent of those drunk pilot stories, perhaps the birds and pilots were sitting a hotel bar during a long delay, got to talking about the changes in environment and as things progressed, the alcohol took hold and the friendly discussion turned into a hostile misunderstanding over the changing jet stream and extinction of species, or the belief that 2012 will be the end of the world, and they then decided,to have a contest to see who drink more leading ultimately in alcohol related death, but probably not, most likely the birds just found some fermented grapes, however some would certainly take this as the impending apocalypse of 2012.

Goes to show that some people look for any sign of apocolypse, as I heard more than a few people say about the recent animal deaths, you know what thats about? 2012, and then nod knowingly as if the world will end then. I remember Y2K and really thinking every computer in the world would crash sending us back to the time of horse and buggy but that didn't happen. So drunk birds are no more a sign of the apocalypse than if Sarah Palin gets elected which reminds me of a shirt I saw that said Palin 2012, the Mayans were right and who knows maybe they are, I still have to pay the electric bill until then.

This also reminds me of a story a few years back about drunk bears eating fermenting corn that had become alcoholic and got into their drinking water and then terrorizing a small town in Montanna, Imagine that, your sleeping in your cabin and a huge bear stumbles in and starts jamming Phish or Jimmy Buffett at four in the morning, talking loudly and ordering pizzas, just being a total drunk asshole, singing Cheeseburger in Paradise while your trying to sleep, and what can you do, hes going to be massive and drunk, you can't fight him, just wait until spring term to move out.

Maybe the birds were looking for some excitement as well but they were Romanian and drunk on wine so more likely they were gothic, or existentialts and looking for a bauhaus concert or Sarte reading, or they were coming from either of those and killed themselves in a massive suicide. Id rather see a drunk bird than a drunk Jimmy Buffett bear though, but if drunk Jimmy Buffett bears started falling from the sky just after new years wearing parrot hats and Hawaiian shirts, than you really might have a sign that the world has already ended and the 2012 theorists were right.
