I just discovered this scientific..."paper," published in the Journal of Improbable Research, presented at the Ignoble Awards a couple years ago. I laughed my face off watching the video. Who says scientists don't have a sense of humor?

My favorite part is the questions part of the talk.

Reminds me of a Drama class exercise my teacher used to do called "Chocolate Biscuit" where you could only say those two words and you were given a subject or event to dramatise... the rest of the class would then attempt to guess what the sketch was about. the exercise was to show that what you say isn't as important as how you say it.

Awesome find!

If you go to conferences, almost everyone's presentation is like that... the speaker comes up and mumble about things you don't understand, like 'chicken chicken....'.

I really liked the ending. He was totally prepared for those questions. Well-researched.

Agreed. I was expecting an in-depth look into why chicken is delicious or something.

haha I remember when my astronomy teacher gave me my first scientific paper to read about gamma ray bursts and absorption spectra (I'm a HS junior by the way so you can imagine it was over my head). Except for a few pages of it, it was like reading something that a two year old made by bashing on a keyboard over and over. I can definitely relate.

I've seen this before but it's always nice to review. I feel like I understood much more of it this time.

I don't see what's so funny about it, I thought his presentation had a lot to say -_-
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

A chicken would certainly find the topic of chickens to be enlightening.

Chicken? Chicken!

I cannot believe some of you guys. Didn't you see? He demonstrated quantum computers perfectly! Here, I'll explain a little better.

In Chicken 1, you can see clearly that chicken is interchangeably active with chicken/chicken, causing the separate 1/0 binary functions to power the chicken computer(CC). Now the CC is powered by positive charges from the chicken chicken chicken.

Chicken?
