Some Obscurish facts
#1717
The year was 1877, the place was Memphis, Tennessee. Scientific American Magazine was trying to figure out why thousands of live snakes rained down on this southern town. Some of the snakes were as long as eighteen inches. The only thing the magazine could say was 'They probably were carried aloft by a hurricane and wafted through the atmosphere for a long distance...' This explanation didn't account for where so many snakes could have possibly come from.
