06-19-2024 - On This Day in Insane History

On June 19th, 2024 in the small town of Jefferson, Kansas, an unusual event occurred that caused quite a stir. Local resident Jedidiah Baker was doing his morning chores of feeding his chickens when he heard the strangest noise coming from his coop. Rushing over, he discovered that in the middle of the night, each and every one of his 12 chickens had grown a third leg. Now on first glance one may assume this was some sort of prank or hallucination, but upon closer inspection it became clear this was no joke. These were fully formed legs, with toes and feathers. At a loss for what could cause such a bizarre phenomenon, Jedidiah gathered the chooks into a crate and pedaled into town on his bicycle to show the locals and get to the bottom of this mystery. Word spread like wildfire and soon people were flocking to Jedidiah's farm to see the three-legged chickens for themselves. The town doctor examined them but was stumped, and suggestions ranged from a hex to an escaped science experiment. To this day, no one knows how or why only Jedidiah's chickens grew that extra leg that morning. It remains an aberration that still puzzles the people of Jefferson to this very day.
