Beats the heck out of me. It was an iPhone so they can pretty much do
anything but I suspect that he simply put the chicken on top of the
phone when he roasted it. When the battery on my iPad dies, I plan on
gutting the thing and using it as a chicken roaster. :-)

Centipedes are some nasty things. They are liable to attack if so
inclined. I lent my van to a friend and he told me that they saw a
centipede in the car and it crawled into the dashboard. That was
worrisome. Very worrisome.
