got one from back when I was learning C - wanted to be a game developer but it never panned out, anyway, the compiler I was using was a Borland product and in the comments of one of the .h or .c files, I forget which, there was a comment that was... actually I went and looked it up just now so I could get it verbatim. always thought it was interesting:
" 7 Hz is the resonant frequency of a chicken's skull cavity. This was determined empirically in Australia, where a new factory generating 7-Hz tones was located too close to a chicken ranch: When the factory started up, all the chickens died. Your PC may not be able to emit a 7-Hz tone "
