Chicken bomb
Someone stuffed a roasting chicken with a pipe bomb and dumped it on the side of the road in Simsbury, Connecticut. A driver found the chicken bomb and called the cops. According to the Associated Press, "The road was closed while the Hartford Police Department's bomb squad came and blew up the chicken." Link

Man, my state just gets weirder and weirder.
"We blowed it up REEL GOOD!"
Teenagers....
(or was it TERRORISTS?)
kick it up a notch, BAM!
all kidding aside, I fear some cruel punks wanted an animal to find this...
Holy crap! That's my hometown!
Guess how many pipe-bombings there are in the US every year? Hundreds, actually. True fact!
My guess is the schmuck who built this one was trying to blow up some kind of animal.
BAM! Emeril funny; Serial killers kill animals as children correct? What do teens that blow up grocery chickens grow up to be? Hooters cooks?
C'mon people that wasn't a bomb! A bomb has blinky lights and looks scary like a lite brite. It doesn't look like a chicken. That's just crazy.
The real WTF here is that some driver pulled over to the side of the road to pickup a roasted chicken sitting there in the dirt, and I can only assume bring it home and eat it.
Police were unable to determine if this was the action of a right-wing or a left-wing group.
Why did the chicken close the road?
Well they blew up the chicken man in philly last night.
OMG we must ban chicken from all restaurants and supermarkets or the terrists will WIN!!1!
@#11: "To bring peace..."
In Oregon we do this with WHALES!
I think this could be some disgruntled farmer who's lost one to many chickens to the local fox...
"So you want chicken,eh?
I'll give you chicken!
Mwhahaha! "
:)
"A driver found the chicken bomb who called the cops"
The chicken bomb called the cops? What, was it a suicide chicken bomber?
And just a few posts back we had Cory's "bring a bag of months into a theater." We don't need no stinkin' editors!
The world is better off without Foghorn Leghorn.
This was no doubt just some punk kids goofing off. Maybe it fell from the truck or something. Or maybe they saw a cop, got scared and threw it out the window. They were probably just going to go somewhere remote and blow it. Mabye even video it and post it to YouTube.
#1. Yes. I love CT. Sorta.
#10, that was pun-tastic.
Nah, if you want a chicken (stink) bomb, you want to put a raw roaster in a glass jar with yogurt. Then you hide the jar somewhere warm for a few days before opening it.
*ewwwwwwwwwwww*
No more than 48 hours (and I'd recommend day and a half), especially if it's hot out or the glass will fracture under the stress of decomposition gases. It is possible to change the color of car paint, not to mention ensure that the car will never, ever be parked next to.
If you're evil that way.
Coincidentally, yogurt that doesn't get left out of the refrigerator makes an excellent marinade for chicken. Guess how I found out about the rank stench that is rotten yogurt and chicken?
What is this thing about pipe bombs in the US. Maybe I'm wrong, but I have NEVER heard of one in Europe. Can somebody explain ?
#22, yeh, it's over here it's mortars, c4, grenades or molotovs..
The cops and the media don't exactly have a sterling reputation for accurately reporting these kind of things- remember the so-called "hoax bombs" in Boston that were nothing more than blinky LEDs intended to advertise a cartoon?
I wouldn't be surprised if there was no explosive at all, but merely a piece of metal that someone thought "might be" a pipe bomb. Not that it will stop the Feds from tightly regulating ownership of roasted chickens.
It's about time Col. Saunders starts a revolution!
I didn't know there was a Bangkok, Connecticut! ;-)
OMFG. I grew up in Simsbury. O.o
Actually, now that I think about it, I have a guess as to why the pipe bomb was there and in a chicken: there's a bear that lives around the area. When people report it to the cops, they get told "oh, that's the Simsbury bear". It's wandered into the local shopping center once, even. And as anyone who has ever watched a Taz cartoon knows, explosive meats are the most effective way to deal with hungry predators.

Aww... now I've got that Jon Jett/Runaways song going around and around inside my head:
Hello Daddy,
Hello Mom,
I'm your ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chicken bomb!
There is a puzzle in an adventure game called Toonstruck that is similar to this. It involves Christopher Lloyd sticking a piece of lit dynamite in a turkey and sending it up to a room full of cartoon reptillian guards, who then proceed to eat the turkey and blow up into leather belts and purses.
