h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

when i was in my farm in brasil, i found a new way of hypnotizing a chicken, different from all the ones i read. i tried all methods and they all work, but this one is different:

lay a chicken down, and hold one of it's wings over it's head...with the other hand, start clapping on the ground a monotonous and gentle clap...clap for a little bit...then slowly let the clapping fade after a few minutes...release the chicken gently from your hands when you know for sure the chicken is hypnotized...
