''Chickens, like humans, are by nature social creatures. I am neither a chicken or human.' Blue (2011). I wrote this in a research paper, it failed at peer review and was never published...Can't say I'm surprised, but it gained a few laughs and raised brows....it was a controversial piece of research.
