Why did the chicken machine….

"LIFE JUST GOT EASIER!" is the claim from BrightCoop company, manufacturer of the E-Z Catch chicken harvester machine. They illustrate their thinking with a video of the device in action. (For technical details, see the patent for it — U.S. patent number 6,612,918.)

This incomparable machine can ALMOST be likened to the SSI shredding machine, whose manufacturer has produced videos of it shredding a couch, a boat, a washing machine, and many, many other substantial objects. SSI proclaims itself to be "the company that shreds torpedoes."

(Thanks to Boing-Boing for bringing these to our attention.)
