Fish Rain

The following is from the almighty internet. Pretty cool stuff, although I'd rather have a chocolate rain, or cheese rain or how about a pizza and wings rain?

In the Depatmento de Yoro of Honduras a yearly rain of fish has been puzzling scientists for years. No one has yet explained why, or how this rain occurs, including a research team from National Geographic who documented the 'rainfall' in the 1970's. The Natives of Honduras don't feel like they need an explanation..or at least not a scientific one, anyway~ they believe the phenomenon is simply a miracle. Since 1998 the city of Yoro has even begun hosting a festival in celebration of the welcome occurrence, called appropriately 'The Rain Of Fish Festival'! Folklore tells that the fish fall because of a Catholic priest, Father José Manuel Subirana , who visited the area from 1856- 1864. Father José Manuel Subirana was a missionary whom many Catholics (especially those in Honduras) consider to be a Saint, though he was never given Sainthood by the Church. During his mission in Honduras, legend tells, Father José was so troubled and moved by the poverty that he witnessed there that he fell into a fevered prayer that lasted for three days and three nights, where he asked the Lord to provide for the people. The prayer ended with the miraculous rain of fish, which has continued yearly to this day.

Copan

The Mayan ruins at Copan are the biggest and best in the world and they are still here, despite the prophesied apocalyspe of Dec. 21, 2012 when the Mayan calendar ended. There are more hieroglyphics at Copan than at any other ruin. Apparently the city was founded by a Great King who ruled from 426 to 435. There is no name listed for the king, but some of his descendants were called, Smoke Jaguar, Eighteen Rabbit and Smoke Shell. Unfortunately, by the time Copan was discovered by the western world, none of the inhabitants remembered anything of the great civilization that was there.
