It is a major plotline of Small Gods, by Terry Pratchett -- so surely people here must've heard of it.  |
Ridiculous? Hardly. What would be ridiculous is if we introduced the Monty Python world's deadliest joke, since it would kill everyone on the internet (once posted here everyone would read it in this thread, then when people notice that no one is posting here someone would look and see the joke and then die laughing...and so on until everyone on the internet has died laughing).
Concerning the book, I haven't read it but I will put it at the end of my read/view list (currently sitting at more than 10 years worth of comic books, more than 100 manga, more than 500 anime episodes, several dozen TV series collections, several movies, and
Game Of Thrones - Season One).
I'm not worried about my shell breaking open, I have my shell lined with a stainless steel liner and it can survive being driven over by a tank (it's based on my old PDA case which was as tough). Plus, once the chicken hawks see chicken, they won't be too concerned about eating me...and I've got an Elmer Fudd-type shotgun to deal with the more insistent chicken hawks. I will just be vewy vewy quiet. Ha ha ha ha.
