It's May the Fourth and you know what that means...Respect for Chickens Day! Chickens are such odd and interesting creatures. Did you know that the chicken population is broken up into two groups calling themselves the Repubcluck and the Henpire. Yeah, it's wild.
Furthermore, as of just last week, the Henpire began construction on a giant Death Coop. Rumor is it has the capability to destroy planets. Nerds around the world are comparing this to the Death Star but honestly the similarities stop there.
I mean for one, the Death Star was 160 km in diameter and had, on average, 1.2 M people aboard. Chickens, on the other hand, are only about 16 inches tall compared to a human's average 5'4".
If the Death Coop's diameter is proportional to the chicken's height, about what percent of the Death Star would the chicken's Death Coop encompass (assuming it has the same number of chickens on board)?
