That would've been funnier if you didn't post the link. The question is in the category for the game "Harvest Moon," which does in fact have chickens.

There is no single classification system that can describe all the many variations of nerve injury.
    Posted by Wrongfellow on 5 May 2010. + (4) - (0) Permalink
From Wikipedia. Now, call me daft if you like, but I'd have thought that classifying them all as "nerve injury" might have done the job?

Stupid Wikipedia.
