So wierd, you won't believe it's true.

From Relevant Magazine's slices:

Despite carrying the latest in military technology, American troops going into battle in Iraq will use chickens to detect chemicals or nerve agents. The US is concerned pollution from oil installations will clog up detection equipment, hindering efforts to pick up traces of poisonous gases or chemical agents. Chickens will be placed in cages on the top of their Hum-Vee vehicles. The smallest traces of gases or chemicals will kill the birds, warning the troops to put their gas masks on.

Sometimes fact really is stranger than fiction.
