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.

Not that I know of. In this part of the county I live in I can't really
think of an ethnic group with a large population, such as Montgomery
County with Asians and Hispanics making up a large part of the population.

In Chicago they are somewhat numerous now, but when I was a kid the
ethnic group was Polish. Windy City Poultry was and is across from the
PNCC at 4601 S. Kedzie.

In my experience, Buffalo wings are the most common chicken app.

The fried chicken app really keeps it from messing up the kitchen,
you can just take it outside.
