Nnicolette Posted January 2, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 2, 2019 So it was filled with chickens or there was the idea of filling it with chickens? I'm seeing some conflicting wording used to make a random old thought into news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aardvark-DK Posted January 3, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I read the headline, and thought...Nuclear Chicken ? Sounds like an Early C64 game... Then the article really made me laugh....where they eating weed cakes in the 50s ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troublehalf Posted January 3, 2019 #6 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) This has been known for ages. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3588465.stm This article is from 2004 as one example, probably known even before that but I'm not going to go digging. Pretty sure it's been mentioned on TV shows as well. This isn't an attack on the matter but simply that the website seems to have been oblivious to this for 14 years at least.
