Hundreds of chickens scared to death by a 4-year-old kid. →[More:] A court ruled the boy's screaming was "the only unexpected abnormal sound" and that 443 chickens trampled each other to death in fear.

You really should check this one out -- if for nothing else, then the headline.

One of the surviving chickens was quoted as saying "It was like a Who concert in there."

I wonder if they had little Hell's Angels Security Guard Chickens, who tried in vain to keep everyone from rushing the stage.

Hey, that reminds me, last time I was on tour I was kept up by a couple of chicks banging on my door all night long. I finally had to get up to let them out.

[Ok, lame, but I got it off a Country Gentlemen live CD. If a bluegrass band thinks it was a joke worth telling, well...., uh, well...actually, I guess that pretty much should have been warning enough not to tell it.]

This reminds me of the Simpsons scene where Grandpa Simpson wonders why his cows on the old family farm only gave sour milk, accompanied by a prepubescent Homer running around the barn screaming "Stupd cows!"

Okay. But did he eat their eyeballs?

Sorry. Anyway. OmieWise, I enjoyed both jokes.

He probably acted out the chicken version of "War of the Worlds".
