No one dare tell me that wild magic is gone from this world.

@Currywurst, I wrote it _hoping_ for a punchline. I never got any further info and neither did anyone else.

Another mystery Seattle keeps to herself.

@overholt FWIW, I know that's the definition of the word 'manuscript' and I think it's wonderfully romantic.

I'm my mind, the word conjures an image of a lonely author setting his dearest ideas to pages late at night driven by the hope that not only will they be read but understood.

So, here's what I know about the Library Chicken. My son was at the Central Branch doing microfiche research up on the 9th floor.

At 5 pm, he said he sat up to take a break and a saw full grown, live chicken run, full speed, across his line of sight and launch itself (in that weird way chickens do when they try to fly) down the stairs.

Several minutes later, he says he saw two security guards running in the direction of the chicken.

By this point, I assume, the chicken had escaped and security was left with a mystery. That, or there's a chicken haunting the Central Branch tonight. Either are acceptable in my view, really.

I, and apparently loads of other people (judging from the boosts), would love to have the 411 on the Library Chicken.

If you, or someone you know, works at the Central Branch, do fill us in!
