Happy Dance Like a Chicken Day!

 

The New Puzzler! 

 

Happy Dance Like A Chicken Day from the SolidLine Crew! That's right, May 14th is the honorary day celebrating the infamous dance dedicated to all chickens around the world. We weren't quite sure how to celebrate the holiday around the office, so the official SolidLine Media mascot (John Courchane) tried working his chicken-dancin' magic on the SLM staff.

 

WATCH: Behind The SolidLine: Chicken Dancing?

 

As if that wasn't terrifying enough, we decided to research the delicious bird and found that they can travel at a speed of up to 9 miles per hour, mate with turkeys to produce baby "turkins," and all the chickens consumed from KFC worldwide would circle the Earth at the equator 11 times (laid head to claw). All of these amazing facts made us wonder how many chickens there really are out there...

 

The Question:

 

What is the chicken-to-human ratio in the United States? 

 

A. 2.4 : 1

B. 3.2 : 1

C. 6.5 : 1

D. 10 : 1

 

Think you know the answer?  Send it in to puzzler@solidlinemedia.com.  If you're the first correct respondent, you will win a box of stylish SolidLine-branded coasters. Good luck and thanks for playing The SolidLine Puzzler!

MEET THE CREW

 

2 Qs with SolidLine Editor John Courchane

 

You recently accepted full-time employment as an editor here at SLM. How does that make you feel?

I'm very proud that a company like SLM considers me to be a good fit. I see so many of my friends struggling with finding employment after graduation, so not having to worry about that is a huge load off my shoulders.

 

How do you like your chicken prepared?

I love to make my own buffalo wings at home. I use some ghost pepper powder in the breading to give it that extra kick, then coat them in either a homemade or Tobasco brand buffalo sauce.
ASK THE CREW

If you could assume any aspect of a chicken, what would it be?

 

Mike Petrik, Art Director

The gift of sorta half being able to fly.

  

Ed Boe, Director of Photography / Editor

Chickens do have an impressive metabolism...
 

Kevin Wright, Producer

Tasting so good with sauce on my wings.

I would assume the deep-fried chicken smell. Nobody would be able to resist me!

 

John Courchane, Editor

To finally know, once and for all, why chickens cross the road.

Their admirable strength.
