Semi-OT:
One minor point, I happen to know that chickens may, and have, gone quietly into the night... at least as far as we could tell....
My Uncle owned several thousand in separate coops on his farm. One day, several gutted chickens were found, although no signs of rats or actual
'consumption' were found.
After several repeats of the mysterious chicken deaths, some of the family were 'volunteered' to keep watch.
Although one night passed where chickens died, and no one saw anything. The next night a *ahem* gentleman was discovered - having found a loose board
and entered the coop quietly, he would grab a chicken and.... well, it ended up dead. Now we only know this because he was caught 'in the act'
(much more the shame for him). We do know one other thing, the chicken was never able to make so much as a sound, no one heard anything....
true story....
sick, but true nevertheless.

At first I thought "North Pole" was a literal term, I figured - how many people can there be up there? The list of suspects must be real short!
Then I realized that its a brand name. Maybe they have a disgruntled employee.
