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! 😉 ---

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.) ---

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. ---

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! \” \ > [@evlkitty](#): > > I believe the answer you are looking for is K=Fc[sup]2[/sup]. 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. ---
