Okay, hal. Now you're ticking me off. If it wasn't for the fact that your presence nearly doubled the number of posters here, I would ask you to leave. Have a Happy Holiday Season, and try to eat more seafood. It's supposed to be healthier anyway. TLC

Flash New Item - Hong Kong will destroy all chickens. The government announced today that all chickens in Hong Kong and the nearby territories will be destroyed. 1,200,000 chickens. Tall chickens, small chickens, twelve foot high chickens - All gone! Informed sources said government workers suspect the "Bird Virus" originated (originally) in a lab where chickens were being genetically altered, although that data has long since been destroyed, While there are no formal records, government workers said that in the remote areas of the country, a myth persists of earlier research that led to the production of some very large chickens. These large chickens, some said to be twelve feet tall, were particurlarly vulnerable to "chicken pox", an early form of the "Bird Virus". Researchers are desperately trying to locate any trace of the twelve-foot high chickens to secure a DNA sample in the hopes of developing a cure for the current virus. Anyone having information relative to the location of real or fossilized material from one of these chickerati is urged to call the National Center For Chicken Virus located at Tyson's Center, Virginia. In a related article, some scientists in England have speculated that the "Mad Cow" disease may be related to the "Bird Virus". Years ago when the "Mad Cow" was first identified, there were reports of cattle mutilations in the areas where the disease was located. At first scientists thought that wolves and other such wildlife were the cause of the mutilations. Later, just south of the western most portion of Hadrians Wall, three cases of cattle mutilations were reported where parts of a talon like object were found. Local newspapers carried stories that attributed these talon like objects to Velociraptors. However, mainstream observers in London discounted this line of thought. Stay tuned for the latest details.
