Chicken Crap
Twisted Pix to Amuse & Amaze
Galleries of humourous, bizarre, and/or perversely entertaining photographs have been a staple web commodity since the earliest hominids first cobbled together crude networks of primitive stone-and-twig computers in the African savannah hundreds of thousands of years ago, predated only by pornography itself, which constituted the entirety of the worldwide web for millions of years previous, and may indeed have been carried to Earth by meteorites once the planet had cooled to the point where water could remain in a liquid state and life was able to emerge and eagerly log on.

There is of course a very good reason that websites full of funny pictures enjoy so long a pedigree on the Interwebs -- they're a hoot!

For all our modern loquaciousness, humans have always been profoundly visual creatures. Long before infection with the memetic virus of language, whatever portion of our ancestors' rapidly growing mutant brain was not devoted to visual processing was almost certainly taken up by equally rapid expansion of the capacity to perceive the fundamentally absurd and ludicrous nature of the universe and everything in it, especially our ridiculous gangly half-baked-scheme-hatching selves.

There is thus a certain primal comic bliss in the nonlinear and instaneous apprehension of visual hilarity that tickles the very core of homo sapien consciousness, allowing us to share wholeheartedly in the raucous laughter of our chimpanzee cousins at the sight of a 600-pound silverback alpha male gorilla slipping on a banana peel and landing with a soul-satisfyingly thunderous crash upon his suddenly inverted hairy ass.

Chicken Crap is a pretty darned good collection of such right-brained prelinguistic graphic comedy. It's not the product of an exhaustive search for the ultimate in optical chuckles, but rather a chance discovery that a few minutes of giggle-laden browsing revealed to be at least an above average example of the genre, providing more than enough healthful stimulation of neural humour circuitry to make a visit worthwhile.

I include here a couple more or less randomly grabbed sample pics, again not meant to represent the cream of the chickencrap crop (repeat that phrase ten times fast), but indicative of the general quality there to be found.

A separate collection of videos have been added to the site recently -- connosieurs will of course eschew the messy narrative linearity of such faddish moving picture exhibitionism, immersing themselves instead in the picture gallery and the holistic purity of the single, sublimely mirthful, ROTFLMAO, funny picture.
