THE QUESTION: some scientists say that mad cow disease came from cows eating cows. i don't know anything about that, but my question is, do you have a natural "icky" feeling about that idea or, more specifically, the idea of chickens eating chicken? a friend suggested that it should "feel" wrong to feed chicken to chickens. we usually feed our always-voracious and totally omniverous (and very stupid) chickens whatever we have left over each day, and i was and am totally devoid of the "icky" feeling i should (maybe) have. do you feel it?
THE RANDOM QUOTE OF THE DAY: (from "southern living") "highlands [NC] is a real hot spot for salamander diversity..." (is this something you always wanted to know?)
ONE MORE TIDBIT: from (i cited this book in my last post---i'm not doing all that italicizing again) "We are sad at funerals, but there's no such thing as a funeral without a humorous moment. Once a visiting Episcopal minister took a step backward and fell smack into the grave. It certainly livened up the service.
Not many have forgotten the time one of our more intellectual citizens died, and the Presbyterian minister, who had known her forever, was out of town. The family rustled up a supply minister who'd never laid eyes on her. The night before the funeral, the family gathered to tell him all about the deceased, her fortitude in the face of a long sickness, her appreciation for art and literature. The sisters, knowing their big sister would want it, requested the minister to read some poetry, maybe a bit of Shakespeare or Keats. But the visiting divine chose "Keep a-Goin'." ('Tain't no use to sit and whine 'cause the fish ain't on your line; Bait your hook an' keep on tryin', keep a-goin'.") The bereaved sisters were doubled over with laughter. If you can't find something to laugh about, you will end up crying."
this is, no doubt, true.

I think a chicken eating another chicken is gross.
