| Why did the chicken cross the road? To hide in shame in
some bushes! This naked chicken may someday end up in your
KFC family bucket.
This is the supposed story:
"JERUSALEM -- Seedless watermelon was one thing, but
a featherless chicken? An Israeli researcher is growing bald
birds that will stay cool in the sultry Middle East and other
hot regions. The less fatty, crossbred chickens will fare
better in tropical climates, where expensive cooling systems
are needed to raise poultry, Hebrew University's Avigdor Cahaner
said Tuesday. The new birds are also better for the environment
because the absence of feathers eliminates the need for water
and electricity to run machinery in processing them for food.
"We're talking about sustainable agriculture. Farming should
be aimed at reducing waste," Cahaner said. He crossbred normal
chickens with birds already partly bald because of a naturally
occurring "naked neck" gene. The result is a somewhat funny-looking,
normal sized boiler chicken that carries the special naked
gene."
The real story is that this extraterrestrial chicken was dropped
from a flying saucer near Art Bell's desert home. Art found
it, fried it, lost half his brain and turned into George Noory.
The moral of this story - don't eat naked fried chickens.
