Not the avians we were expecting at the bird feeder............

Actually, we're wondering what to do about these chickens, They have wandered into our back yard over the past few days, They appear to be well fed and are beautiful birds, Must have escaped from somewhere. Trying to figure out who to call.

Poor Walter had to go to the Vet today. Poked, prodded, and some blood drawn for an upcoming teeth cleaning.

so... 5.5 lbs = 2.5 kg (i.e., 2500g).
By Einstein's equation:
E = m * c^2 = (2.5 kg) (3 x 10^9 m/sec)^2 = 2.25 x 10^19 kg-m^2/sec^2 = 2.25 x 10^19 Joules
2.25 x 10^19 J = 4588 megatons of TNT (4.588 gigatons)
(of course, you would have to convert all of him into energy, which is somewhat impractical... but... yeah, a lot of energy!)

Can anyone identify this? Perhaps the ever resourceful @mhardy6647? It was found crawling up my arm on the patio earlier today.

(most likely) it's a Bolo spider, part of the orb Weaver group.

That is an American 25 cent piece, commonly known as a "quarter" (short for "quarter dollar") and to a lesser extent "two bits" (formerly equal to the cost of a shave and a haircut). I would have to guess that it was minted in 1979, judging from its markings.
This object is relatively common in most parts of the country. In some locales, it has more value as a component to various common drinking games than its monetary value.
*Not to be confused with the Canadian version which was known to wreak havoc in vending machines throughout the 1970s and 1980s. -

WTF, it would be "Shots fired, Shots fired" after I knocked it of my arm ofcourse!
Knowing what part of the country you are in would help. I dont thinks it is a Orb family though. -

I heard somewhere if it weren't for spiders, we couldn't breath the air outside.
I tried to find that white spider and got weird feelings while looking at hundreds of pictures of spiders. I had to abort!

I HATE MOST SPIDERS, but the little hairy jumping spiders don't bother me one bit for some odd reason. Maybe since I can't see their little short legs moving, I don't care about them.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

On my way home from work this happened about 6 cars in front of me. Myself and a nurse ran up and wouldn't you k ow I did not have my knife on me. I hear the 60+ year old screaming 'get me out of here". I yell for a knife and someone hands me a really freeking shard Benchmade knife. I cut the seatbelt and the guy drops. He starts to crawl out the passenger side but I see somehow he is tangled in some pipe and metal rod from the fence he took out. Myself and the nurse thought it had pierced through him. A little looking around we see it is not in him. I remove the metal and he gets out. He seemed ok and the medics took off with him. Made me realize I dont have a proper first aid kit in the car. First thing I looked for was leaking gas. Thank god we did not have that problem.
He rolled about 3 times and ended up in the fast lane on the other side of the hwy. He was lucky no one hit him. -

I guess he just lost control. I did not see any other cars involved. -
Well done sir! Good Samaritan you are! And, I love my Benchmade collection!

The problem with those is that when your feet are cold, they take a long time to warm up.
