AN ACT OF COD?

AN ACT OF COD? Piner High senior Danny Zahl and some fellow members of the heavy metal band Woldwarden were standing outside Danny's country home off Olivet Road on Sunday. They were about to start a practice.

Something went, Crack! It was a loud, sharp, striking sound. Danny's parents, Brian and Barb, heard it, too. Everybody looked around to see what had happened.

Danny and his friends checked the garage and discovered that something disgusting was dripping from the ceiling. What the . . .?

A fish protruded part-way through the tiles on the garage roof and oozed goo onto the garage floor.

A ladder was climbed and the partially eaten remains of a good-sized specimen -- a koi, maybe, or a carp -- were pulled down through three broken roof tiles.

What if the fish, presumably dropped by a high-flying egret or other bird, had hit somebody? Danny and his bandmates don't like to think about how badly the falling fish episode might have ended, but they do wonder if there's a song there somewhere.

And there's fish...fish falling.

The Black Box has been recovered...  ELO's "Don't Bring Me Down" was playing on the ill fated fish's i-pod shortly before the mishap.   

Hey, whatever happened to the photo caption thingee you were starting up, Mike?
