My first thought too.

To anyone unaware, plato defined man as "a featherless biped" so Diogenes brought a plucked chicken

You can't spell genius without Diogenes

I wonder how Plato would have defined man if he knew kangaroos existed.

featherless tail-less biped? then we could have a story about Diogenes fighting a kangaroo to cut off its tail

Why does it always come back to chickens?

Because they couldn't figure out what to make chicken taste like, which is why chicken tastes like everything.
