I dunno , you just come off as the type that has money... My mistake I guessSo you DID have money! Aha! So tell us where you hid it
Fixed to something a little more your speed.Buy a bank and mess stuff up.
Problem with that is you can only do it once because when you wake up all the money (and the women) will be goneSleep on large piles of cash with many beautiful women.
I looked this up on Wikipedia recently. I recall a figure of 25 billion chickens alive at any given time. But we as a species go through about 50 billion per year; the mean chicken lifespan is brought down by the fact that broilers can reach slaughtering size in about 6 weeks, while egg-laying hens lay enough eggs to be viable for 1-2 years.In fact, chickens are possibly the most common animal that isn't an insect in the entire world. (Well, maybe rats are more common. But certainly chickens are the most popular farmed animal.)
How many are there? Loads of them.
Some sources say 50 billion.
But I don't think it's that high. Maybe 25 billion.

By way of comparison, a crude estimate of the number of humans that have ever lived is ~100 billion. We eat about as many chickens in two years as there have ever existed of us.
I read a sci-fi book a long time ago...can't remember the title...but one of the in passing features of that fictional future was a thing they called 'chicken little'. It was a genetically engineered thing that amounted to a chicken with a breast that filled most of a building. It was on all kinds of mechanical life support because the organs were inadequate to support the giant blob of meat, but it grew continuously so they could just harvest giant slabs and cut it into 'breasts' to package and sell.
I think about that every time I see chicken on sale really cheap.
I remember that book!
... I can't remember what it was called, either.
The Space Merchants - Frederik PohlScum-skimming wasn't hard to learn. You got up at dawn. You gulped a breakfast sliced not long ago from Chicken Little and washed it down with Coffiest. You put on your coveralls and took the cargo net up to your tier. In blazing noon from sunrise to sunset you walked your acres of shallow tanks crusted with algae. If you walked slowly, every thirty seconds or so you spotted a patch at maturity, bursting with yummy carbohydrates. You skimmed the patch with your skimmer and slung it down the well, where it would be baled, or processed into glucose to feed Chicken Little, who would be sliced and packed to feed people from Baffinland to Little America. Every hour you could drink from your canteen and take a salt tablet. Every two hours you could take five minutes. At sunset you turned in your coveralls and went to dinner --- more slices from Chicken Little --- and then you were on your own. You could talk, you could read, you could go into trance before the dayroom hypnoteleset, you could shop, you could pick fights, you could drive yourself crazy thinking of what might have been, you could go to sleep.
http://www.uspoultry.org/faq/faq.cfmAre hormones used in the production of chicken?
No hormones are used in U.S. chicken production. The Food and Drug Administration strictly prohibits the use of hormones in broiler-fryers. Nor are additives allowed on fresh chicken. If the chicken is processed, however, additives such as salt or sodium erythorbate may be added, but must be listed on the product label.
http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/ProductSafetyInformation/ucm055436.htmSince the 1950s, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a number of steroid hormone drugs for use in beef cattle and sheep, including natural estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and their synthetic versions.
http://www.thepoultrysite.com/artic...eive-growth-hormones-so-why-all-the-confusionFor the past several decades, geneticists have been able to cut roughly one day per year off the time it takes to reach a specified target weight. They have benefited from the short generation interval (lifespan) of the chicken, allowing them to make huge strides in a short period of time. Genetic improvement in the pork and beef industries comes much slower because of the increased generation interval and the time it takes to recognise genetic variation and improvement.
I wonder how much would it cost to make the Gamebryo/Havok code less buggy.
If any money is left over
Wow! Just, wow!
