Teenager Hit By Raw Chicken Fallen From The SkyA teenager was lucky not to be injured after being hit by raw piece of chicken that fell from the sky Cassie Bernand was enjoying a horse riding lesson with his instructor on a clear, cloudless day when a number of poultry pieces rained down around them, with one striking him clean on the bonce. 'Three objects fell out of the sky in front of us, two larger and one quite small,' explained instructor Jennifer Cording with nobody any clearer as to how the incident happened. Officials from a nearby Tyson Foods Inc. processing plant denied that the chicken emanated from there, while local land protection manager, Milton Johnston, said it was likely that the parts came from improperly composted dead chickens on a nearby farm. 'We can't have pieces of chicken falling out of the sky,' he remarked. Avian expert Bryan D Watts has suggested that high-flying gulls carrying chicken in their mouths are probably to blame. Ms Cording called a premature end to the lesson after the incident and said it will be discussed for a long time to come. 'It was one of those things around here that gives us something to talk about,' she said, before adding that 'it was a weird night'. For the original article, go here. |
Reggie The Ram Is A Natural In Front Of The CameraAs the poster boy of the Faroe Islands farming industry, Reggie the ram loves nothing more than flaunting his enviable figure for the camera.
With his photogenic good looks and mesmerising presence in front of the camera, the horned model has what it takes to become a global star. However, Hollywood remains a distant dream for the ram, affectionately christened Reggie, while he's stuck stranded on Streymoy, in the Faroe Islands. Posing in front of a picturesque backdrop, the scraggily male sheep appears to be revelling in his moment in the spotlight. Intrigued by the presence of a stranger on his home patch, Reg was also snapped checking out his reflection in the camera lens. The striking snap was taken by AFP photographer Jonathan Nackstrand on a recent trip to the archipelago islands, situated between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. Streymoy, or the island of currents, is the largest of the Faroe Islands and is known for its strong fishing and sheep farming industries. However, the island could be about to lose one of its stars if the bright lights of Hollywood come calling for Reggie. For the original article, go here. |
