Thousands of dead herring - it sure smells like the animal apocalypse

THOUSANDS of dead herring washed up on a beach in Norway - it must be the end of the world, right?

For those of the apocalyptic bent, the sudden appearance of 20 tonnes of dead fish in Kvaenes, in the northerly district of Nordreisa, after hundreds of blackbirds dropped dead in Arkansas is a sign that the Mayans and Hollywood are right and 2012 IS the year we all go to hell.

Scientists are looking for a more sciencey reason. They want to conduct tests on the fish to see if they were driven to their death by a predator or simply swept ashore by a storm.

Locals, although clearly puzzled by the appearance of the herring, are more worried about the smell: unless someone cleans up the mess quick, Nordreisa will start reek of the underworld.

They had that awful storm, Hagmar? (weird storm itself) a few days before this happened. Even N Europe has joined the rest of the world in experiencing disastrous weather.

I was reading that Scotland experienced strange hurricane-like winds a few days ago as well.

Yes, Scotland and Ireland had terrible winds and some flooding as well..

Update!

Well looks like all of those herring just upped and disappeared into thin air shortly after this 'event' took place:
