I was dreaming last night that somebody was telling me a joke. The setup line was “What would you have if three were the real root of Kentucky Fried Chicken?” I said “I don’t know.”
At that exact moment my alarm clock went off! :smack:
Now I’ll never know the punchline, unless a bunch of ignorance-fighting people I know on the internet can help out. C’mon, there’s a geeky joke there someplace. It doesn’t get any more mundane or pointless than this! 
One of its legs are both the same?
…I got nuthin’. :o

No solution to your problem but the other day I dreamt about the Squeeze song, Cool for Cats. There are four verses and they use the title phrase in at least three subtly different ways. I dreamt I discovered the fourth way. (I might start a thread in CS some day about it since it seems that they should put a twist on it in all verses if they did it in two of them.)
I believe the answer you are looking for is K=Fc[sup]2[/sup].
ROFLMAO!

Yep! evilkitty wins! 
“To get to the other fried.”
“That’s what she said!”
“The Colonel said he’d ritualistically torture and kill me if I told you.”
Two wings and a cock.
One cock, one chicken, and one colonel.
Two legs and a cock.
Two breasts and a cock.
Two thighs and cock.
I’m not certain of the answer, but my gut tells me cock is in there somewhere.
That’s something to crow about.
Good stuff, everyone. Thanks!
I sent the same question to some friends, and I got the following:
“If 3 is the square root of KFC, KFC = Nein! It is greasy and not good for you, so just say Nein!”
“9i seems a more precise answer. After all, since you were dreaming, an imaginary number seems more appropriate.”
"Well, if 3 is the only real root of KFC, then KFC is the function (x-3)^n. "
Maybe k=(f-3)^c ??
The best I came up with is “I don’t know, but the complex roots are conjugate! <rimshot>”
<crickets>
Oh, that’s da bomb! 
I’m happy to report that this thread was referenced in [thread=514563]another thread[/thread] by rjk, which I’m cross-referencing for fully-connected self-referential Mobius strip goodness.
Hell yeah, nice one evlkitty!
