The Terminator - Chicken Style

[Andrew]

The article is about a machine that catches chickens, doing the same work in an hour as is usually performed by 8 workers.  However, read it and find the section about the "chicken vacuum."  Hahahaha!  And the one guy wonders aloud about so many of the chickens dying on them (when using the vacuum).

Chick-fil-A needs a promo picture of one of their cows with this thing.

Still chuckling about the vacuum though.  It reminds me of the bit in "Heavy Metal."

A 1 hp, pneumatic tool for cutting the rectums out of pigs!  This is going to be my next Random Thought entry, once I get over the initial shock and figure out how to write about it.

--Quickly and efficiently cuts out sow bungs.
--Fast - a single operator can bung up to 1200 sows / hour.

The mind boggles.

That is it.  I am going to bed.

Hmm.  Sounds more like the "Panic Trucks" (Riot Scoops?) in "Soylent Green" to me ...

That's discrimination!  We've got rights too.
