Playing with Fire

Making stars…
Fire in the hole!

What is Chinese New Year without blowing up something or creating a heck-a-lot of noise (actually I think a few of my aunts are loud enough)?

Giant Chicken Exists!

I know it’s the year of the Dog…
But, here comes the ostrich, err, I mean vulture, err, no, I mean GIANT CHICKEN! Yup, this is no myth and it actually existed and walked the earth. Of course it is no more today but reports say that it may appear occasionally, especially this time of the year. Careful approach is needed if you see one of these… modern chickens are a a fraction of the size of these behemoths!

How big are they?
Extinct? But they are not a myth!

Feeling Ill?
