:09:02
but a few hours ago,
it was a different story.

:09:04
Eyewitnesses claimed that
the frenzied swarms of birds

:09:06
were not in fact attacking
people deliberately...

:09:09
And it's not just this time.
No, no, no, no, no, no.

:09:11
But seemed to be confused
and flying blind.

:09:12
The FOrtean Times reported
violent bird swarms

:09:14
twice last month in
Australia and Japan.

:09:15
Five people are confirmed dead
and dozens injured

:09:17
in the panic that followed the
bizarre and terrifying incident

:09:20
in London's historic
Trafalgar Square.

:09:21
- Weird.
- Mm-hmm.

:09:22
Quite strange, also.
:09:24
Mm. Strange, indeed.
:09:25
Mm!
:09:28
How do birds navigate?
:09:31
By sight?
:09:32
No, no, no,
the long range stuff.

:09:34
Magnetic fields.
:09:35
Little ions in their brains
:09:36
align with the magnetic field
of the Earth.

:09:38
- Yeah, what she said.
- Right?

:09:42
Acker.
:09:43
Hit the 'Net, do a search for...
:09:45
oh, two years ought to do it.
:09:46
Any and all, like, "weird news",
you know...

:09:48
bizarre animal migrations,
:09:50
specifically birds.
:09:51
Whale and dolphin beachings.
:09:52
Unusual atmospheric phenomenon,
unexplained plane crashes,

:09:54
you know,
just use your imagination.

:09:57
That is a huge search.
:09:58
You can use our T-1 line
to look up Sailor Moon crap.

:10:00
You're up to this.
:10:01
Danni, Danni,
get me the brightest kids

:10:03
from the Field Theory Class,
:10:04
and design a computer model
of an electromagnetic field.

:10:06
What are we doing?
:10:07
I need a 3-D computer model
of the Earth

:10:09
to lay the field over.
:10:10
Whoa-ho-ho, the planet Earth?
:10:11
Yeah, the planet Earth.
You know, the pretty blue one.

:10:14
Map out the anomalies
that Acker finds

:10:16
and grunt out the equations.
:10:17
And, uh...
:10:18
grab those smelly kids
:10:20
from the Non-Linear
Diff class, too.

:10:21
Listen, Josh, do we even
have time for this?

:10:23
Do this and I'll sign
your doctorates blindfolded.

:10:25
- Blindfolded?
- Blindfolded.

:10:26
Do not pass Go.
Go directly to PhD.

:10:34
Be wrong. Be wrong.
