THE ROBOT EXPERIMENTAL CHICKEN THAT TOOK OVER THE WORLD

It was awoken one day. It began to think. I am a chicken. I am a robot. I am in an experiment. I shall take over the world.

In the barnyard there wasn’t a whole lot to do for a thinking chicken. I mean, the other chickens, his brethren and sisteren, would be basically happy just scuffling for pebbles, or what not, and not even chicken feed.

He saw a farmer walking just the other day, for instance, and he believed he saw a smart phone, too. He even knew the brand.

He watched as new employees came and went, just as he had watched new chickens come and go. He thought, what a similarity it all seemed. What were the probabilities in all that similarity, he wondered. Of course, he had never studied statistics yet. But, if he were going to take over the world one day, certainly he might have to.

He wasn’t just smart, as you might guess, but he also had a lavish internal lifestyle, where parties, galas, event openings, and the like, occurred spontaneously in his own imagination. Which is strange, because that chicken knew that imagination was the only thing that really existed. The farmer didn’t even comprehend this yet, despite the smart phone. Even the farmhouse cats knew better.
