Sorry If this has already been posted here somewhere. Here is a link to an article concerning the lack of acorns this year on the east coast, and other states.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/science/12/12/acorn.shortage/index.html

It mentions Virginia as being hit hard, but what is really weird where I live in VA (south east) we had a ton of acorns this year...more than normal in my area actually..

I also read a diff article that mentioned Germany as being affected as well..this is really weird..


Could this maybe explain the poor seasons some are having?

I also wonder if this will effect the deer population in these areas...the article mentions squirrels, but we all know deer love em as well..
pretty scary
