The Inner Workings of a Bleeding Heart(ed Sleeper)

The Prophet Hen of Leeds

readmorewikipedia:

The Prophet Hen of Leeds was a doomsday hoax involving the Second Coming of Christ in England in 1806.

A hen began laying eggs on which the phrase “Christ is coming” was found to be written. Eventually it was discovered to be a hoax. The hoaxster had written on the eggs in a corrosive ink to etch the eggs, and reinserted the eggs back into the hen.

i didn’t read this.

but the phrase “and reinserted the eggs back into the hen” caught my eye and made me laugh hysterically
