Natural Storm Causes Butterfly Wings to Flap

In a startling inverse of the usual wives-tale, a large naturally occurring storm has caused several butterflies on the other side of the world to flap their wings in an unusual manner. This has created quite a stir in the butterfly social scene, as a number of the affected insects were out in public at the time. One individual, Bzzst-zzt, made quite an offensive gesture to the maid of honor at his sister’s wedding.

Butterfly + Storm = Bad
The soon-to-be bane of your existence.

Researchers in India recently became aware that two groups of butterflies have been marking their territory in Warangal City. “The problem appears to be with two families of South Indian Blue Oakleafs (Kallima horsfieldi). They are splitting the city along the Bala Samudram Road,” said Gajendra Kalla, a scientist on the scene. “Their main method of fighting appears to be flapping their wings to cause mini-storms in the opposing territory. A side effect they either don’t know about or don’t particularly care about is the massive storm brewing on the other side of the world.”

Why Not Us: My Time In the Senate with Al Franken

I have no idea who that guy in the middle is.

Editor’s Note: Today’s article was guest-written by Tanzmetall(719), an alternate instance of Tanzmetall who somehow managed to get elected to the United States Senate in 2008, defeating Arlen Specter. This is especially remarkable since, in 2008, Tanzmetall was much younger than the age limit, and Specter was not up for reelection.
