Driving home tonight I was listening to the radio and I heard a guy talking about chickens that play tic-tac-toe in casinos as a promotion. The radio guy said that if you beat the chicken at tic-tac-toe you win $10,000! I found some references to it online, and apparently it's legitimate. I think it's interesting (and makes me laugh at the same time) that chickens are able to beat humans at tic-tac-toe. Here's a quote from http://www.lasvegasadvisor.com/frugalfridays.cfm?FrugalFridayID=81 "From the Really Weird Department: I like “different” promotions, but the one that the Trop in Atlantic City plans to launch September 14 takes the cake. Called the $10,000 Chicken Challenge, gamblers play tic-tac-toe against a live chicken. Don’t all you advantage players scramble to get a flight there, however. The deck is stacked against you, so to speak. The chickens are secretly trained by a Tennessee farmer by the name of -- and I’m not making this up -- Bunky Boger. And the chickens always go first, so they win most of the time." How long before we see the Chicken World Chess Championship? Russell
