Crazy Chicken

This next entry just shows you the importance of reading comprehension and grammar! On the surface, a “180-pound man eating chicken” does sound like quite a sight indeed. Who wouldn’t want to see a force of nature like this bird that eats people? However, that’s not quite what it promised.

If it said “180-pound man-eating chicken,” with the hyphen included, then it would be a pretty incredible bird! But, without the hyphen, “man-eating” becomes an action, and it’s no longer so impressive. What is impressive is the fact that this fair managed to trick so many people into giving $2 to see it!
