May contain traces of chemicals
Multi-coloured chicks for Easter, from BBC News Online.
I'm remarkably unconcerned by this story, on the whole; it seems a neat trick, but not especially useful or anything. However, it gives me a good chance to rant about the general stupidity of the world at large...
"Triple D Farm and Hatchery, in Palmer, injects the eggs with dye to produce multi-coloured baby chicks."
Well, no, it produces coloured chicks, which happen to be differently coloured from the other chicks, but the chicks themselves are no more or less multicoloured than they were before...
"The dye, which the farm insists does not contain chemicals, is injected into ordinary chicken eggs a few weeks before Easter."
ARGH! STOP THAT, YOU MORONS! "Chemicals" are not some dangerous force out to get you, chemicals are literally everything around you. Water is one of these highly dangerous chemicals, so obviously the dye doesn't even contain that...
Your normal complete lack of service now resumes.
