I thought someone was kidding when I read this headline:

Hotel owner Joe Mahon plans to throw 50 live turkeys from the top of a 100-foot clock tower to see if they can fly.

One notable comment:

A similar pompous and vulgar businessman several years ago here in the U.S. tossed turkeys from a helicopter and laughed.

...according to the owner he had no intention of throwing live turkeys, in the past he has thrown paper-mache toy turkeys in a charity event for cancer.
