Chicken
Well THIS makes me feel a whole lot better: the USDA has changed it’s standard for what percentage of chicken carcasses in a processing plant can test positive for salmonella. The new standard sets the limit at 7.5%. The previous limit, set in 1996, was…drumroll please…20%. Is it possible to be retroactively nauseated, because I think I am.
We’ve all got our hate on for the KFC Double-Down sandwich, right? I mean, could anything BE more disgusting and such a symbol of our gluttony? Well, this The Smart Set post by Greg Beato would kindly like you to remember that the Double Down doesn’t even qualify as an amuse bouche compared with the 12-egg omelets, truck-tire-diameter pancakes, and side-’o-beef burgers that Adam Richman finds in restaurants all over the country on Travel Channel’s “Man vs. Food” or the cheese-laden, deep-fried, gut-busting “off the hook” dishes Guy Fieri lauds on “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives”.
And let’s not forget the health care reform idea touted by Nevada Republican Senatorial candidate Sue Lowden: paying your medical bills by bartering live chickens to your doctor in return for treatment. Who says Republicans aren’t just FULL of…ideas.

The Bond Between A Man And His Chicken Can Never Be Broken
This is Steve and his best friend, Pecks. Pecks, you may have noticed, is a chicken. Steve has raised Pecks from the day she hatched, and he is completely imprinted on her as her "parent". She goes just about everywhere that Steve goes, so it’s a good thing that he works at a zoo, where he teaches children about free-range poultry. It could get pretty ugly if Steve had to go work at a fried chicken restaurant, y’know?

It’s one thing to intellectually understand how something works, but sometimes seeing it for yourself can be an illuminating experience.
This webpage has a fabulous series of photographs showing the development of a chicken from just a plain old egg yolk into a fluffy little yellow chick.
Oh, and did you see the story the other day about the English boy who was able to hatch a chick from a store-bought egg? (His mum bought it from a farm stand that sells fresh eggs, so don’t go running off to the supermarket to buy a dozen eggs thinking you can start your own KFC or something.)

“It’s For My Chicken”
Blogbuddy “Kate” at Cider Press Hill points us to this story, which had me almost in tears from laughing so hard.
It’s a good thing he needed it for his hen and not for his…ahem…rooster. THAT would have sent this story in a whole ‘nother direction.

I have a personal lubricant story that I must blog about…even including a shocked pharmacist. I’m off to make notes.

I should have known better than to read this post with other people in the room. Explaining to one or more teenage daughters why I was sitting in front of the computer LMAO was not something I was prepared for.

Tastes Like Chicken
Researchers at Harvard published an article in the journal Science yesterday that says they’ve found similarities in the proteins of Tyrannosaurus Rex fossils to those of modern-day chickens.
Sounds like they’re gonna need a re-write for the ending of Jurassic Park IV…and a really big fryolator.
