For anyone who's ever sat through an inscrutable scientific talk, I give you, "Chickens":
Doug Zongker, a software engineer at Google apparently gave this talk at the 2007 AAAS Conference (though Wired was there in force, and I'm not sure how we could have missed it). It's based on this paper [Download chicken.pdf
], published in the Annals of Improbable Research in 2006. See the actual PPT slides here [Download dougz.ppt
].
