Not that I'm freaking out or anything

But all of these deaths can't be attributed to fireworks, cold weather, or fog.... can they?

Apparently die offs are common.

Or are they not telling us something?

Update: Another scientist not worried.

The Constitution

Note to Republicans... reading the Constitution in the House is fine. Skipping or glossing over anything is not. Read ALL the amendments too. And really listen to what it says. Knowing the history about why they dumped the Articles of Confederation would be helpful.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
By the way... the Constitution is a legal document. It is not a religious icon.

One way to jump the shark literally

Drunk Serbian man kills hammer-head shark with his butt
A Serbian man reportedly has become a hero in Egypt -- by accidentally killing a shark with his butt while drunk.

Dragan Stevic was soused to the gills while partying at the Red Sea resort Sharm El Sheikh when he inadvertently felled the beast that had been terrorizing tourists for weeks.

Stevic cannonballed into the water from a high-diving board, according to a Macedonian news agency. Instead of making a splash, he came down right on the shark's head, killing the toothed terror instantly, New York Post reports.

Stevic doesn't remember killing the shark. He was too drunk. He's now in hospital with alcohol poisoning. But the shark slaying was witnessed by Stevic's drinking buddy. After a long night of boozing, Stevic decided he needed a swim. So he walked onto the beach and spotted a diving board.

"Dragan climbed on the jumping board, told me to hold his beer, and simply ran to jump," the drinking buddy says. "Dragan jumped high and plunged down to the sea, but didn't make as much splash as we thought he would."

That's because he landed on a shark, Register informs.
