Dodge Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Chickens can't swallow while they are upside down. The left leg of a chicken in more tender than the right one. Did you know that the longest recorded chicken flight was by a headless chook? Or that in earlier times, chimneys were cleaned by shoving a chicken down and letting it flap out the soot? "But my favourite is that in France in mediæval times one punishment for an adulterous wife was to make her run naked through the streets of the town chasing - you guessed it - a chicken. You’ve got to give the French points for originality. I wonder what the adulterous husband had to do?." The longest recorded flight of a chicken is 13 seconds. A chicken who just lost its head can run the length of a football field before dropping dead If I'm being a bore, please tell me and I will stop Regards Dodge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I can see the practical application of using a chicken to sweep a chimney. Small boys complain too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
