Fun Fact Friday - How To Hypnotize a Chicken

I'm sorry I've been absent for so long, dear reader. I am, as you may or may not be aware, a college student working on a thesis, which occasionally consumes a large part of my time. But this fun fact is the most fun. I hope it will make amends.

Fun Fact: Chickens can be hypnotized... by Al Gore.

Damn, that's an erect cock!

That's right. Former Vice President Albert Gore can hypnotize chickens. Perhaps this is not news to you, dear reader. Perhaps you were a fan of 60 Minutes in 2000. Perhaps you were lucky enough to witness Mr. Gore confess that as a boy in Tennessee he learned how to hypnotize a chicken.

But enough about Al Gore! Because I am sure you are all wondering if you can get a hypnotized chicken to do a strip tease or perform its finest imitation of Colonel Sanders. Alas! I don't think that is possible.

As it turns out, if you get a chicken's head on the ground and draw circles or lines around said head, you can basically just get a chicken to be very still. Which maybe is exciting, but first you have to wrestle the squirming un-hypnotized chicken's head to the ground. It honestly seems like a bit of a hassle to just watch a chicken sit still, but for those of you who are into immobile hens, here's a video I procured from the interwebs.

Well, until next time, dear reader. And may you be as hypnotic as Al Gore!

"Why, hello!" - Al Gore

So fucking hypnotic.
