Why Did the 1,200 Pounds of Chicken Cross the Freeway?

sfgate.com — All lanes on southbound Highway 101 in Burlingame have been reopened after crews cleared away a jacknifed big rig that was loaded with 12,000 pounds of frozen chicken. Authorities on the scene said that the chicken's intentions may have been to get to the other side, but no official statement has been issued.

  • smacksaw, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3Didn't you mean for THIS headline to be submitted to FARK?
  • inactive, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3Why Did the 1,200 Pounds of Chicken Cross the Freeway?

    Because the 'big boned' dude who just dined at KFC lives on the other side of it.
  • david04, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3Actually, I was there when the truck trailer was still on-top of the truck. I've managed to take a snapshot with my phone, however, the chickens seem to have left the scene.

    I'll post the picture, if anyone wants to see it.
  • tallguyg, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3sorry maybe i shouldnt have said "local" news. I live in Santa Clara. about 25 miles from Burlingame. I still heard about it on the radio!
  • brandita, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2I was caught there with my tank on E and almost ran out of gas. Just a wake up call, Don't drive around with your car on E. The pursuit for cheap gas doesn't always end happily.
  • infiniphunk, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2I sure hope all that chicken didn't go to waste or something. You know how they are overzealous nowadays with food hygiene and all. Could go to feed a lot of hungry people is all I'm saying.
  • AtraNoxVII, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2How dare those chickens try to escape, what a bunch of *****.
  • Bluntman4000, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1"Arise Chicken Arise!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvCt9XD_oLA&feature ...
  • smrekar, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1I have to agree, that joke was pretty fowl.
  • maivne, on 10/18/2008, -0/+0are you freakin kidding me, with the price of gas why werent you out there trying to pick up those chickens....sometimes ya gotta choose between gas and groceries....i cant believe i missed this i live pretty close!
  • smacksaw, on 10/16/2008, -2/+2I'll Digg you up because I feel sorry for you. All that money to live in the middle of nowhere in Burlingame. At least this Digg will help you feel better while you pay way too much money to be confined to 101 and 280 traffic.
  • Ghid, on 10/16/2008, -1/+1I bet it smelled very bad around that area.
