Sorry, I forgot which newsgroup the space pregnancy discussion was going on
in, so I am sending this to both.  It is short.

From the Boston Globe, August 6:

FINGER LICKIN' SPACE.  Two dozen chicken eggs will be aboard a NASA space 
shuttle next year because an intern at Kentucky Fried Chicken headquarters in 
Louisville wants to find out whether chicken embryos can develop under 
weightless conditions.  In a gutsy move the Colonel would have admired, John 
Vellinger sold NASA on the scheme, so Uncle Sam will pay the bill.  "We hope 
this will give us data about the feasibility of rasising chickens as a food 
source in space," says intern John Vellinger, who adds mysteriously "and, 
longer term, whether humans can reproduce in a weightless environment."
