Kentucky Fried Dinosaurs
So I'm reading this article about dinosaurs in the magazine Scientific American, thinking about what to have for lunch. The article is all about how dinosaurs were some of the fastest-growing animals to ever have lived. Then it hit me: we should be raising dinosaurs to eat.
Before you laugh or scoff, think of all the harmful waste that comes from these large chicken farms. Dinosaurs, they say, were just big chickens. So instead of raising a couple thousand chickens, you feed and raise a dozen or so T-Rex's, and you've got a chicken farm that will be the envy of all the neighborhood.
Yes. I saw Jurassic Park. I understand that they could break free and wreak havoc on the community. Sure they're an abomination unto nature and by tinkering with things we don't understand we're going to get in trouble. But isn't that just the kind of negative thinking that got us the 12-piece bucket that costs over ten bucks?
Stand up, I say, and look at the benefits such a plan would offer. Can you ride a chicken around town? Not unless you're very small, you can't. Can a chicken eat the neighbor's dog who keeps you up all night barking? Nay again. And can a chicken scare the heck out of those irksome religions people who go door-to-door? Once again, nope.
So it's time we all thought about our children, our future, and our favorite barbeque sauce. The dinosaurs-for-chickens movement has begun!
But can dinosaurs swim?
