Ever wonder what happens when a giant turkey flies through your dorm room window and dies on your bed? Second year University of Virginia student, Piyush Srivastava came home to find a turkey lying dead in his bed. Piyush told the Cavalier Daily that he came home from a weekend at home to find blood and shattered glass were all over his room… and turkey dead in his bed. He was moved to another dorm room while UVA cleaned up the mess.
/You know how badly those hokies wished they went to UVA.

oh noes!!!!!!!
Awwwww! Poor turkey! Where the hell is Piyush’s dorm? In the woods?
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!

Presumably the turkey didn’t also forget to take out the trash & do the laundry prior to expiring. Other than the body on the bed, the blood, & the broken glass, his room always looks like that?
Smells funny to me.
Why did it die on the bed??
@3-4-5. No question. Although the young ‘uns that are wondering WTF might have to go to Youtube.
@7 it probably broke it’s neck. That’s how most birds die when they hit a window
So it blew thru the window, broke its neck, made all that mess, then collapsed right in the middle of the bed.
You betcha. . .
Well if the window is right over the bed, why not?
Don’t mean to pull rank here but I’m an expert on dead critters. It’s basically what i eat. Most of my food is positively docile after I snap their necks. That’s the whole point; it’s easier to eat them after they’re dead. Unlike a certain faux predator who stalks her prey at Weezer concerts, I eat what I kill. Turkeys are really bashful and hate being around people.
To reiterate, if the turkey went thru the window and landed on bed, what made the mess? The glass is six feet from the bed!! This turkey was killed elsewhere (by what), then deposited on the bed as a prank. Hope it wasn’t killed by West Nile. Hope they used a ton of bleach in their cleanup (call Sunshine Cleaning!).
You may be an expert in killing things but you knowledge of physics is indeed lacking. The explosive force that a bird would have to hit the window times the weight of said bird would spread the glass shards in a fan pattern after initial impact for some distance. Having watched and cleaned up after a 70 pound dog doing the exact same thing (just cutting himself not breaking his neck) this looks within a reasonable outcome given a limited fact pattern.
Or to put it another way the energy possessed by the turkey flying thru the window was transfered to the glass as the turkey hit the glass. This deceleration by the turkey sent the glass flying with the turkey’s energy. The mass of the turkey with it’s neck broken and it’s forward momentum transfered to the window glass was overtaken by gravity and dropped quickly.

Sorry Dieter but I am with Truman on this one. I reckon the guy went out on the lash and put on his beer goggles. So he picks up what he thinks is a ‘hot chick’ only to wake up the next morning beside Big Bird. She tries to blackmail him by demanding bags of seed, and starts crapping all over the show so he offs her and fakes the window evidence. You don’t need CSI Grisham for this one.
yall are all gotchied freaks!
