    Neat
    Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

    Better to let one think you are a fool, than speak and prove it

      Bah, We chickens are evolving as we speak. We are trying to strike fear into Col. Sanders franchise.

        Byock does this bird flu problem worry you personally or have you been innoculated?

          I have no real fear of it. Mutations seem to grant immunity.

              There's a reason chickens don't have teeth: it's really inefficient to what they do!

              Genetically speaking though I'm not suprised they have the ability to grow teeth. There's a lot of currently unnecessary coding in DNA because it's a lot easier to get new attributes than to rid of the old.

                Yep...it's an "atavistic structure", not too unlike those humans that are occasionally born with tails.

                    Don't have the shedding problem, it all just stays in place. But I'm damned if I can grow a full beard. Something about that Cherokee blood coursing through my Scotch-Irish veins


                    Chicken with teeth though, that's a scary thought if those were swans or geese instead. They'd be dining at KFH.
