Typical masonic deflection. Keep digging, KingGhidorah! You’ve got him on the ropes!

There once was a duck that exploded.
They thought that with yeast he’d been bloated,
But he’d eaten black powder
(Which made the bang louder)
And had been walking around locked and loaded.

Reminiscent of the Mark Twain short story, “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”.

“this was planned terrorism no doubt about it.”
Indeed. I heard the Chinese are preparing to unleash a fleet of Peking Ducks.
“This popcorn duck is a little underdone.”

Yep. As a veterinarian, and specifically a veterinarian experienced with “exotics” (read as birds, reptiles, and small mammals that aren’t dogs and cats), I can assure you that birds can burp, and can definitely regurgitate (I won’t even regale you with the fine stories of what happens when a blue heron regurgitates partially digested fish, or when a turkey vulture regurgitates rotting meat…).
Also, if you somehow had a non-open ended GI tract, it’s not like you’re going to build up enough pressure prior to rupture to get an “explosion”. I mean we see unfortunate pets all the time that have swallowed foreign objects that get stuck in a section of intestine (well beyond the point of being able to regurgitate them), and even when a rupture occurs, it’s intestinal damage with leakage into the abdomen resulting in a septic peritonitis. Not some cartoony giant BOOM with animal bits flying about blinding people.

I guess this is what it takes for people to not care that the duck won an award.

Years ago NPR (radio) had an interesting report on LA’s ‘early’ Chinese restaurant menus and their interesting misspellings. One menu listed “Pump Pork”, apparently a mistaken mashup of Rump Roast and some pork dish.
They’re always telling me to order in hexadecimal but I didn’t listen
