@juergen_hubert you're right - that sounds like Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner

@juergen_hubert The hunstman probably thought the Devil was a wascally wabbit in disguise.

@juergen_hubert I saw a story this morning and thought of you.

400 years ago Francis Bacon killed a chicken and stuffed it with snow to prove that you could refrigerate food and it would stay good. Unfortunately in doing it, he got cold and died in a nearby castle. The place where he got the snow is now haunted.

By the chicken.

@dianaprobst

Chicken haunts are not uncommon in German folklore.
