Profound and Deeply Disturbing Question

Hi fellow glitches
Despite the fact, that I have been a member of the wonderful glitch-family since the ancient beta times, up to this day I've never come up with this very disturbing question:

Why do we get grain from chicken and where does it come from?

Please don't tell me it's poop-grain, we all cook with it! Do we shake grain out of their feathers when we squeeze the chicken? I truly hope so. :)

Has anyone come up with an agreeable answer to this?

  • DEEP & Very PROFOUND. I'm going to have to ponder on this for awhile.

  • I don't think it could be poop grain or it wouldn't be intact... Vomit grain perhaps.

  • I'm happy to make glitches giggle :)

    @Melting Sky: Well "vomit grain" doesn't soothe my nerves as much as you thought it might :)

  • I am going with the "shake grain out of their feathers" theory.  That way I can sleep at night.

  • I'm still pondering eggs from trees...and you bring up this grain from chicken thing?!  And that milk from butterflies...I mean really...how much milk could a butterfly hold?!

  • The giants just were trying to imagine an earth-like environment to make us glitches happy.  Problem is, they never visited Earth, and all they had to go on was satellite photos they found somewhere....

  • Considering you need to massage butterflies before you milk..... Well.. Makes me think they're mostly male ahem

  • The chickens throw it at you with their wings (which must have opposable thumbs since they use them to climb) to make you go away. They grow them in special chicken gardens which are inaccessible to Glitchen.

    Let's not consider what chickens eat.

  • Grain is chicken-money, and they keep it in their wallet. 
    Squeeze is a vague euphemism for mug. We are mugging Chickens. All. Day. Long.
    And nobody does anything about it.
    And nobody will. If they don't want the Giants to forget their existence.
    Am I perfectly clear?

  • Glad its grain we get from squeezing cause IRL if you squeezed a chicken ya might get an egg an i never like to think of where THOSE come from ;)

  • o.O obviously, it comes out from the chicken's belly button!

  • Oh my gosh, these answers are hilarious!!! Thanks for sharing the fun my dear glitches and thanks for trying to help me with this serious matter ;)

  • No it's not poop silly.  The grain is in the chicken's mouth, she was eating it and then you hug her and she's so startled and happy she drops what was in her mouth to talk to you and smile a little chickenie smile. <3

    This is made apparent at higher AK levels when they tell you it makes them happy and to not stop squeezing them.  It's just that chickens eat a lot and so they always have grain in their mouths!  We don't see the grain because it comes from their hen house which is off screen somewhere.  It's been imagined in my own imagination it's just not in the Giants' imagination yet so we don't *see* it in Ur, but it exists, much like Glitch Heaven.  There are also hen houses in Glitch Heaven by the way, for the good chickens who die.

  • Once I've finished squeezing, they occasionally tell me I've emptied their chicken pockets.  So grain comes from chicken pockets; where they get the grain to keep in those little pockets is best not thought about too deeply...

  • No by "pockets" they mean their moufs of course.  Beaks, whatever.

  • I second the "grain as chicken currency" theory, as, if The Purple Scion ran up and shook me, he would get Currants, and if a giant came and picked his pockets, they might get several elephants and a MastadonExpress Card (Don't leave home without it).

    I can't begin to guess what the giants use for currency, but I am sure it is shiney and of great intrinsic value.

  • We get it from their 'crop"

  • All of you are wrong. The truth is chickens are nasty little pickpockets who steal grain and hide it in pockets under their wings, camouflaged in their feathers, acting all innocent like as though they're gonna feed their chicks or make nests. That's why they squawk and fly away with a startled expression when we squeeze them. And I think their logic is by the time we reach the higher levels we are in league with them and they stop scolding us. Or it is their form of greasing us. I have always known this.

  • natsumi this *does* explain their expression when you mouse over them but don't click.. >_>  They stop everything they're doing! :o

  • I've been wondering when kevbob would pop up and give an explanation, since he's been showing off with a new word he learned recently: chook

    Uh, of course I meant to say, kevbob is sharing his wisdom with us, yes, that's what I wanted to say *chuckles*

  • It's obvious that chickens have a straight line to Humbaba, where they get their grain.
    We just squeeze the grain out of them little devils.

  • Unlimited supply of grain can be explained in the same way as how us tiny glitches can haul tons of ore in 16 bigger bags and tools and stills bigger than we are and never look bulky or slow down.

    I am currently considering the hypothesis that chickens are in league with Ferengi.

  • You've pondered this and yet you never pondered about how we get music boxes from them? lol

  • Chickens have huge pockets! When they give you a maximum harvest some of them say,  "My hot pockets are free of grain!". There - out of the chicken's mouth.

  • lol XD

  • All questions can be answered by both explanations I have put up above. Pickpocket chickens with 16 Glitch style bigger bags hidden under their wing feathers, and they all are in league with Ferengi smugglers.

  • I see you people have discovered the concept of chicken/grain duality.

    When observed from a distance the chicken/grain exhibits its purely chicken aspect.

    Upon closer physical observation it begins to exhibit more of its grain nature. By learning Animal Kinship we are merely more closely examining said chicken/grain. Alas, even the most experienced Glitch may only do so twice per day with limited results.

    So, I am working with a team of scientists to develop a Super-Chicken-Collider. It is our fervent hope that when it is complete we will be able to observe the total grain nature of this unique being. Glitches will never want for grain again and everyone will rejoice.

    Well ... maybe the chicken/grains might have a different opinion.

  • The chicken is a BAMclucker. I think they have powerful magic and turn all the stuff into miniatures. Ever notice how the musicbox gets bigger as it zooms into your bag?

  • It would be unscientific of me to not accept HogWater's hypothesis. Sounds plausible. We await the results of the Super-Chicken-Collider. and hopefully the discovery of the Humbdron Particle.

  • If the chickens are full of grain why can't I shove one in my still and have it run forever ?

  • I love the idea of a Super-Chicken-Collider.  With the new housing system, if we earn enough imagination, will be able to install these in our back yards?

  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_(anatomy)   basically the crop is an enlarged portion of the esophagus acting kind of like a pouch where many birds including chickens will store food prior to digestion.

  • Having been in here pre-big reset too, I've always wondered why the chooks give us grain instead of eggs...
    Posted 10 months ago by Arietty Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Okay, now these answers made me very thoughtful... why am I worried about the grain, when the question where the music blocks or the gurly drinks come from should be what keeps me awake at night?!

  • from reading about harvesting butterflies, sadly its their farts that are milk * eeeeewwww *
    Posted 10 months ago by GiaTori Subscriber! | Permalink
  • It's vomit grain, yeah. When you squeeze the chicken they heave up the grain they've been eating.

  • @GiaPaws!: But just imagine hundred butterfly farts on you tongue... that can't possibly feel bad can it? :)
