            Okay, we used to have chickens and I didn't know this.  How about the hen that laid blue-green eggs?

             

             She would have red ears.  That's the Araucana breed that the ear rule doesn't apply to.

                            At a hockey game the spare pucks are kept frozen.  Once pucks warm up, they bounce around.  Every so often the ref will switch the game puck out for a frozen one and stick the warm one back in the bucket full of shaved ice if it hasn't gone over the glass and into the crowd.
