Wow! This should be on par with the butterfly effect http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070124/od_nm/china_chickens_dc Boy's screaming kills chickens? Wed Jan 24, 10:13 AM ET BEIJING, Jan 24 (Reuters Life!) - Hundreds of chickens have been found dead in east China -- and a court has ruled that the cause of death was the screaming of a four-year-old boy who in turn had been scared by a barking dog, state media reported on Wednesday. The bizarre sequence events began when the boy arrived at a village home in the eastern province of Jiangsu in the summer with his father who was delivering bottles of gas, the Nanjing Morning Post reported. A villager was quoted as saying the little boy bent over the henhouse window, screaming for a long time, after being scared by the dog. "One neighbor told police that he had heard the boy's crying that afternoon and another villager confirmed the boy screaming by the henhouse window," the newspaper said. A court ruled the boy's screaming was "the only unexpected abnormal sound" and that 443 chickens trampled each other to death in fear. The boy's father was ordered to pay 1,800 yuan ($230) in compensation to the owner of the chickens.
That's not a chain reaction... Now, if the barking dog had caused the baby to scream, which caused the chickens to run out of the henhouse, which in turn got a pig excited enough to start running around and bust open the lock on the bull's gate, which caused the bull to run and and force the father to hop back into his truck and accidentally disengage the parking brake, causing the truck full of gas bottles to careen down a hill and blow off a chunk of the Great Wall of China, sending a tourist who was on the wall soaring hundreds of feet into the air and crash into somebody's car travelling down the freeway, causing a 20 car pile up.... THAT'S a chain reaction...
I lol'ed at your efforts in trying to extend the sequence of events In other news, the father has sold the chicken to KFC
