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.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 11 hours ago

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