[dba-Tech] I'm Doomed

Jon & Rocky,

I remember years ago when my son was playing Doom, one of his first real PC 
computer games. There was a patch for it that allowed shooting chickens 
from hand-held cannons. Every time one was fired, instead of a loud roar, 
there was a loud chicken squawk. Funniest thing!!
