So this week's clever clucker is Geggs with a magnificent +5
Researching dusty grimoires of forgotten lore in the search of quite interesting ovums of Oddness, it is I - your humble QI researcher - gone mad sniffing vapours of mercury and clutching to my quivering bosom a precious +2 points.
Three plump and happy chicks all in a row - Rod, Bob and MMf with a free range +1 each.
But plucked, steraised, skinned sliced, boiled in oil and then shoved down the gullet of a greasy teenager it can only be the mcnugget that is Shagbark with extra large fries and - 7 points.
