I’ve been quite busy this last week with unusual tasks, catching up with some of the big projects at home that have been “on backorder” for a while. I’ve hardly thought about posting to The Plucked Chicken.

It seems we’re getting visitors from surprising places now. There have always been some in Australia. Now I’m seeing more in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. In fact it looks as though the only continent from which The Plucked Chicken is not receiving any visits is Antarctica. Well, it’s running on Linux, so I know the penguins are interested at heart.

In Ohio:

  • Perrysburg

  • Toledo

  • Mechanicsburg

  • Trenton

  • Tipp City

In Michigan:

  • Plymouth

  • Menominee

  • Troy

  • Saginaw

A new town in Minnesota with a lone visit this week is the town of Jacobson. Never heard of it before. I wonder if it’s spelled right. Also:

  • Rushmore

  • Adrian

  • Princeton

  • Owatonna

  • Lewiston

  • Mcintosh

In Illinois:

  • Skokie

  • Chicago

  • Buffalo Grove

  • Windsor

If you recognize among these names the place where your ISP is located, please be welcome to drop me a note introducing yourself. Send it to jmjac at gorge dot net, after fixing the address.

No, we will not bring up his medieval opinions about how Christian rulers could best defend the eternal well-being of their subjects from the persistent challenge of unbelieving Jews. We’ll save that study for another time.

I’m writing today about the Worms Complex. Martin Luther is the first known case, and it has passed on to Lutherans and others ever since. It seems to be a mutation of the more general Martyr Syndrome, exhibited by the likes of Stephen in Acts chapter 7.

The initial outbreak of the Worms Complex has been captured and reproduced in multimedia, and made available online.

The symptoms are as follows.

Birds of a Feather

It’s likely that many already know about these other ovarian species. First, there is the web site for the now-dormant print periodical The Motley Magpie. Also, another entertaining site was just brought to my attention. It may not have the same substance of the Magpie, but it’s fun! See Lark News.

It seems that someone should be able to use the Magpie’s online presence more actively. If not the original flock of Magpies, maybe a new one? I miss that old bird.
