There's a chicken on the
table.. tied down by leather straps. The smiling scientist comes over with a large knife while the chicken tries to get away. Then, the smiling scientist jabs the knife into the chicken'

table. The chicken, miraculously, is still alive but in a world of hurt. The smiling scientist then grabs a small hammer and smashes the fowl-play's
beak. This sends the poor poultry into shock, then dies in
pain as the smiling scientist gently snaps its ribs out of its bloody chest.. one by one...
