It's raining meat! Hallelujah, it's raining meat ....
No, really. In 1876 in Eastern Kentucky, on a clear, calm, sunny day, chunks of meat began to fall from the sky. A family's farm was covered in the mysterious meat, and meat samples were sent far and wide to try and figure out the mystery. Then in 1970, a whale washed ashore in Oregon, causing a dilemma regarding removal efforts. But we know how this meat shower happened - it turns out whales and dynamite don't always mix. We discuss these two events, and touch on a few other meat showers on the historical record.
