Featherless Chicken[s], New Naked Lunch...

Ah, it's so terrible to be human.

I heard about this on Have I Got News For You - sunburnt chicken is not my favourite thought when I'm settling down to my school sandwiches.

Then again, neither is sunburnt anything.

I won't enlighten you into what my favourite thought is at such a time.

This is almost as bad as those Adoption Agency people who are giving out shaven monkeys to wanna-be parents, saying "Here's your new baby!" They are selling them as human babes.

Sorry, I don't have a link for that one. I saw it on a Tabloid. Sounds nasty, eh? Human and monkey alike. It had a pic. I was fooled until I looked clower. Oh, the blasphemy to Nature...

Um...you do know that tabloids are fictional, right? Or atleast dramatized truths that have been elaborated upon...
Max..you made me laugh.
I personally think the chickens look cool, without the feathers.

I also think that this is a very good use of todays genetic technology. Much better than, say, cloning humans for no apparent reason (I recently did a report on that subject and have very concrete veiws on why we should not clone humans for reproductive and/or therapuetic reasons). Genetic engineering has always been a subject of interest for me. Have any of you read Jurassic Park and Lost World? I just finished the second one. Those books are great and not and more plausible than the movies make creating dinosaurs sound.

Hey,

I've seen that pic in my Biology class! It's something about Genetic Engineering.

Oh my Odd those are the two greatest books i ever read. everybody stared at me when during reading they were all reading these books that were like see spot, see spot run... and so forth and i was reading this huge thing that i could barely lift up!! The movies are nothing like the books cause in Lost World the movie Dr.Hammond is still alive but in the first book he gets eaten by Procompsognathuses and in the movies they are just compsognathuses not procompsognathuses like in the book! I think Lost World the book is alot better than the movie cause theres a motor bike chase when the raptor takes some sort of key and stuff... anyway I could go on like this for days but my oppinion on the chicken is that finnaly people are using genetic engineering for a good cause and not adding on to the surpluse population of humans by cloning them for no apperant reason!!! We don't ant to be like Vykkers and do shtuff like that do we? DO WE?!!!! Maybe we do... oh well!!

I wouldn't be too concerned about your lunch being sunburnt if I were you. The only light your average factory hen sees is being shone from the flourescent lighting above.

Then again, if I were you, I wouldn't be eating chickens.

I heard about this a couple of weeks ago and I think they are absolutely repulsive to look at. I don't like it...

An excellent point. I hope those boffins realise the sick irony of it.

Alas, if you were me, you would be eating chickens, because I'm not yet vegetarian. Note the yet.

Yeah, I know, school sandwiches ming big time.

Hmm, I also never knew that chickens were so red underneath their fur. I thought they were like peach or something.
