Archaeologists Discover Chicken Gods


- Archaeologists today announced a stunning discovery during their excavations of the ancient middle American city of Saint Louis. They have determined that this ancient culture, which flourished from the 17th to 23rd centuries on the American continent, worshipped a chicken god. "We discovered that the food preparation areas of at least a third of the homes examined contained statuary, pottery, or engraved images of fowl," said Dr. Joe Brown of the Lunar Archaeological Institute. "This type of discovery can only indicate that the ancient Americans worshipped chickens, probably as a god of plenty, harvest, or food. It's presence in all of these food preparation areas indicates that these ancient peoples probably prayed to their chicken gods before meals". Archaeologists went on to point out that the worship of chickens seems to fit well with the bird-centered culture of the old west. "When you look at the overall picture, the chickens in the food preparation areas, the flamingo statuary discovered in front of many ancient homes, and the ubiquity of KFC temples where the ancients apparently worshipped birds, we can be left with no other conclusion than this...our ancestors were a bird centered culture." Dr. Brown closed with a statement that his research should finally close the lid on the controversial "one god" theory, "It's now clear that they didn't really worship their TV sets."

I've always loved the way archaeologists draw some of their conclusions. They find a bunch of cow statues, and so decide that they MUST be religiously bent.

Very Good!!!

Wait until archaeologists dig up Las Vegas in 4 or 5 thousand years. It will undoubtedly be the religious seat of the long lost tribe of America.
