Flying chickens damage Sydney homes, all over - iol (Saturday, February 12, 2005)
Australian police have admitted that they are mystified by a spate of apparent attacks on homes using frozen chickens as missiles. Police in Newcastle, about 100km north of Sydney, on Thursday said chicken carcasses had damaged several homes in recent weeks, in some cases punching holes through tile roofs. "If they hit anyone they could really do some damage," constable Tony Tamplin said, adding that one theory was that birds picked up the heavy chickens at a nearby dump but dropped them mid-flight. But he said it was most likely a prank by practical jokers who fired the frozen chickens from a giant catapult. The case ruffled feathers of politicians in New South Wales state, leaving Premier Bob Carr pondering the mysteries of life. "One of the things that is interesting about our life here on this planet is that sometimes the unexpected happens and chickens smashing tiles, frozen chicken hurtling through the stratosphere, is one of the mysteries of existence," he said tongue-in-cheek. "I can't explain it. I had no role in it."
Opposition leader John Brogden said the flying chickens posed a danger and called for the fowl-flinging to stop.
