But what does it mean?

There’s something about images with multiple chickens that seems to have a deeper meaning. Like a poultry I Ching.

After the divine Lucia (pbuh) fell off the perch at the untimely age of three, these three chooks were my whole flock for a long time. In the evening, when I went to shut them in, I’d open the door and look them over on the perch.

They were facing toward or away from me in one of the following sequences:

beak-beak-butt
beak-butt-butt
beak-butt-beak
butt-beak-butt
butt-butt-beak
beak-beak-beak
butt-butt-butt

I feel sure if I were wise enough, I could tell my fortune by this. The only constant was, everyone slept scooched away from Violence. She was a sleep-pecker.

Damn… it looks like I’ve forgotten all my Morse Code. Where’s Doctor Dolittle when ya need him?

If it were dogs we were talking about we could get a translating machine but chickens…chickens don’t get no respect.

Never butt-beak-beak? Gotta be some cosmic signification to that!

Apparently S. Weasel’s chickens can’t perform exponential operations (2^3) but do record all their combinations in binary (111).

I’m sure Douglas Adams mentioned the translation of that somewhere in the Hitchhiker’s Guide!

Science types like little Mikey Mann can easily manipulate interpret that data to forward whatever fear agenda they can profit from help all mankind avert a tragical end for the world

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
