[The Weathergirls - It's Raining Men] One day human males start falling to earth out of the troposphere. How do scientists explain the phenomenon? What are some less obvious consequences of the event (other than property damage, injury, lots of busted open corpses everywhere)?

It was on the radio this morning when I was in traffic and my brain went to a strange place.

The song itself gives the reason for the event:

> It's raining men!
>
HALLELUJAH
>
It's raining men!
>
AMEN!

and

>God bless Mother Nature
>
She's a single woman too
>
She took over heaven
>
And she did what she had to do

For the first time ever, scientists were given absolute, definitive proof of the supernatural as the entity colloquially known as "mother nature" made her presence known as she literally rained human men down on planet Earth. Further study of the event would also seem to prove the existence of a paradise-like "afterlife" that fit the widespread idea of heaven. 

Unfortunately, after the initial excitement of millions of men literally falling on the streets died down, problems emerged. Religious groups the world over reacted in every way imaginable. Some cheered, some solemnly gathered, some violently broke down as all of their beliefs were irrevocably proven wrong. Riots broke out in many countries as people realized their existential dilemmas. No country was spared the chaos, and the world was plunged into economic and political disaster for decades. 

As for the men that fell, their story is also less than good. Almost immediately, the single women who ran out to meet their new beaus realized the men that survived their fall didn't speak the local language. In fact, very few of them even met the local standards of attractiveness. "Mother nature" saw it in her wisdom to seemingly pluck men from "heaven" who had died all across human history and randomly drop them on Earth at the same time. Men who had, from their perspective, been farming in Egypt in 2000 B.C.E. were suddenly on the streets of New York City 1979. Viking men fell in Greece and Japan. Mongolian horsemen fell in the Australian outback. As the world descended into religious-backed rioting, these lost and confused men added to the problems. Some ran wild with fear. Others, who had been criminals in their "past life" continued their sprees of robbery and murder. 

Had the world been in a more stable place, these men might have been rounded up by local governments, given an education on the modern world and eventually released after extensive medical checks. Unfortunately, with the world in such a sorry state, their unchecked arrivals also had the terrible consequence of bringing disease and death back to many places that seemed to be rid of them. Thousands of men who had never been immunized before suddenly arrived in a world that thought it had BARELY rid itself of smallpox. People who unknowingly carried the disease spread it to these men, who then spread it to children who were not immunized. Other sicknesses followed in their wake. A pandemic worse than the 1918 influenza gripped the world in the midst of the riots, spurring further confusion and chaos. 

Eventually, many governments realized the problems these new men caused and initiated cruel and draconian methods of contain them. Anyone who did not speak the local language fluently was immediately suspect. Men who did not fit local profiles of appearance and behavior were arrested without warning. For the most part, this caught the wayward fallen men, but many other innocents got caught in the net as well. Most people considered this acceptable, as it kept the community homogeneous and "strong". A few protest groups popped up, but amidst the worldwide chaos, their voices were not heard. Most of these men rounded up weren't given trials or even medical examinations, they were just mass executed by paranoid and corrupt governments. Even western countries committed these atrocities, though they tried their best to cover it up. 

By 2010, most of the men that had suddenly appeared in 1979 were gone. Either killed in the chaos, rounded up or just successfully integrated into the places they fell. Most of the violence and rioting ended as well, the people too exhausted and starved for resources to continue. Many countries no longer existed, swallowed by their neighbors or just blank spots on maps. But people rebuilt like they always do. The lessons and scars from "manfall" would persist for centuries and human civilization, now with proof of a spiritual "other world", would never be the same again.
