Fowl or no fowl, this guy deserves a Darwin Award... I mean, come on, how stupid do you have to be to rob a store wearing something you wore to work at the same store, particularly something as distinctive as a chicken suit? Hey, you! Out of the gene pool!*celebrates having 200 posts on own board* Hooray!  ;D |

Bad pop science gets abused yet again in the press, this time by some idiotic staff writer who knows nothing about DNA research trying to find a shocking-sounding lead-in paragraph to get people to read his story about scientists sequencing the Chicken genome: www.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,11636570%255E1702,00.html No, that's not why everything "tastes like chicken". Besides, I have it on good authority that human flesh tastes like pork, not chicken. So we're the other other white meat, I guess... |

An old Dr. Demento Show favorite, "Cows With Guns", has unsuprisingly been made into a low-quality fan-created flash animation music video. www.theflasharchive.com/f/f-50.htmThis goes in the Chicken Links thread due to a scene at the end involving Chickens in attack helicopters... |

Heh heh, I found a pic of one of the planes from Grandpa's old WW2 bomber unit that had a chicken in its nose art.  |

The Town of Utica, NY has named itself the "Chicken Riggie" capital of the world. My first thought upon reading this headline was that they'd rigged chickens to pull carts like horses. But, no, it's some sort of Chicken Rigatroni dish. Sounds tasty... www.kpax.com/Global/story.asp?S=2810191 |

" Another way"?? What could Uticans possibly have to be proud of if they have to invent a rigatoni festival just to have some kind of identity? On second thought, maybe they were just proud that they weren't from New Jersey.  |

Apparently, a State Senator in Oklahoma is trying to amend the ban on cockfighting there by requiring the combatant roosters to wear tiny boxing gloves on their talons and electronic vests based on those used in Olympic Fencing to register hits. edition.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLITICS/01/26/coxboxing.reut/I think this may be a joke, since the State Senator is listed as being from the town of Henryetta. |

Doing some research for my Battlestar Galactica episode guide, I had occasion to look up the evolutionary origins of the Chicken. The pilot miniseries mentions "Chicken Pie" as being a food eaten on the Colonies, and I wanted to point out that the evolutionary history of the Chicken is known: they were bred from wild Asian Red Jungle Fowl in India around 3200 BC. I found this pic of an ancestral Chicken, and whaddaya know? Some of its plumage is indeed blue... www.centralpets.com/pages/critterpages/birds/wild_birds/WBD4315.shtml |

A German couple going on vacation left an elaborate setup behind which blasted a 20-minute-long recording of a crowing rooster every morning at 3am through massive speakers aimed at the neighbors' windows. www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyID=7633950Our neighbors just argue loudly with each other...suddenly, I'm not as annoyed as I used to be. But I am dissapointed in their lack of imagination!  |

Former wrestler and washed-up B-movie star Terry "Hulk" Hogan apparently keeps quite a menagerie. The local municipal government is fining him $100 a day for breaking laws about how many animals you can keep. It seems that they mainly have a problem with his chickens, though. Especially a noisy rooster named Lilly. stpetetimes.com/2005/02/26/Northpinellas/Suburban_smackdown.shtmlAlso in the news, Hulk Hogan apparently doesn't know that roosters are male, or he wouldn't name his "Lilly". |

Yet another cockfighting ring is broken up, this time in Florida. www.local6.com/news/4237424/detail.htmlWith pic of one rooster looking rather annoyed that he won't be getting the lead role in the all-chicken remake of "Million Dollar Baby". |
