Fried Egg - A pizza with a fried egg on top, how can something so simple be so disgusting? The fried-egg-pizza combination is initially repulsive but then when you think about it it then becomes intriguing (”Could I dip the crust in the yolk…?”)

Happy Meal Pizza - Possibly the most calorific pizza ever to be consumed, this is a lesson in learning when to pull back from the brink of insanity. In short, this is a selection of McDonald’s famous fat-kid snacks placed on a pizza base and covered in loads of cheese. That’s it. Would you consider eating it?

Pickle, Port and Grape - This grape-and-pickle pizza is made with port wine and gorgonzola cheese. But despite the undoubted weirdness of those toppings, does anyone else think this actually looks pretty amazing? In any case, dousing your pizza in alcohol is always a worthy experiment.

Chocolate - Putting marshmallows and dark chocolate on a pizza might bring back pleasant memories of making pretty little fairy cakes when you were younger, but that won’t last when you’re throwing up in a bucket.

Japanese ‘Mega Pizza’ - This Pizza Hut monstrosity, exclusive to Japan, brings America to Asia. The crust is made of hot dogs wrapped in bacon and rolls of molten cheese. The center is built with hamburgers, cheese rolls, sausage, bacon, ham, bacon bits, mushroom, onion, pepper, garlic and tomato sauce. The pie also comes with two toppings, ketchup and maple syrup…

Most people know very little about these fascinating animals, pigs are curious and insightful animals which are thought to have the intelligence beyond that of an average three year old human child, pigs are sometimes smarter than most dogs and are every bit as friendly, affectionate and loyal.

Pigs are at best in their natural surroundings, not on factory farms as this is when they are at their most social and playful and are very protective of each other and bond well. Pigs who live on farms are denied everything that they desire and love the most, they are never free to roam on pastures and laze in the sun or breathe fresh air and all of these things contribute to developing personalities of pigs.

You may also be surprised to learn that pigs also have dreams, recognize their own names and lead a social life within their own groups which they live in, and people who run animal sanctuaries often say that pigs have their own individual animal characteristics and they have learnt this through seeing pigs enjoy listening to music and playing with footballs just like humans do.

Leading animal behavior scientists from across the globe now tell us that chickens are inquisitive and interesting animals whose cognitive abilities are more advanced than those of cats, dogs, and even some primates.

Chickens apparently understand sophisticated concepts and they learn this from watching each other, they can demonstrate self-control and worry about the future. This information has come from Dr. Chris Evans who studies animal behavior and communication at Macquarie University in Australia, he has also said, “As a trick at conferences I sometimes list these attributes without mentioning chickens and most people think I am actually talking about monkeys.

Chickens understand relationships and still relate to objects and understand they exist even when they are hidden from view; this puts some of the abilities of chickens above some of small children, this information has put a whole new meaning to the word “bird brain”, chickens have shown us they can do things that people didn’t think they could do, there are definitely hidden depths to chickens!

On September 10th, 1945 a five and a half month old rooster was pecking through the dust of Fruita, Colorado, the unsuspecting bird had never looked so delicious as he did that, now famous, day. The rooster was about to be terminated for dinner that night and once the procedure was completed the chicken staggered around like most freshly terminated poultry.

Afterwards the bird shook off the traumatic event and never looked back, the bird was then called Mike - it is unclear when the famous rooster took on the name and he returned to his job of being a chicken, Mike pecked for food and preened his feathers just like the rest of his barnyard buddies.

He was found the next morning, sleeping with his “head” under his wing. A week into his new life he was taken to University of Utah in Salt Lake City. The skeptical scientists were eager to answer all the questions regarding Mike’s amazing ability to survive with no head. It was determined that ax blade had missed the jugular vein and a clot had prevented Mike from bleeding to death. Although most of his head was in a jar, most of his brain stem and one ear was left on his body. Since most of a chicken’s reflex actions are controlled by the brain stem Mike was able to remain quite healthy. Mike continued to live for a further 18 months and he was known as “The Headless Wonder Chicken” and grew from a mere 2.5 lbs to almost 8 lbs.
