A Chinese chupacabra?

Every once in a while you read an article that makes you say WTF?! Below is one such story.



A mystery beast that resembles a chupacabra ("goat-sucker"), a legendary, fearsome and possibly mythical beast said to inhabit parts of the Americas and Puerto Rico, is seen shortly after its capture in a village in Suining, Sichuan Province on March 24.

In this case, the gray colored animal wasn't attacking goats, but chickens and it was the fowls' cries that alerted village Ke Suying to find the mystery predator tearing into his birds. He tried to drive it away with a stick but failed, though later with the help of neighbors caught it in a steel net.

It resembles a large rat or a mutant mix of kangaroo and dog, with large claws. It is about 60 centimeters long, with a 30-centimeter tail. Villagers describe it as "quite fierce" and said it ravenously consumes both meat and vegetables fed to it.

Most of its brown fur has fallen out, with only a little left on its back and a front foot.
The creature has been given to the Sichuan Province forestry department for further examination.

You're a jerk...I know

Baked Jerk Chicken...I decided to try to make some more jerk chicken today. While preheating the oven, the place started to fill with smoke. I knew immediately what had happened because it happened once before. My roommate left a dirty aluminum foil on the broiler. She was probably broiling fish so it had char and oil all over it. Since she cleaned the kitchen pretty thoroughly, I assumed that the oven would was clean too. That was my fault I should have checked. I cleared the broiler and finished cooking. It came out as expected but I used too much seasoning so it ended up being a little salty. I should have just used the jerk seasoning by itself. I'm on a quest to make the best jerk chicken in the world...I have a long way to go.
