A most unpheasant crime
 The thief pulled off his fowl heist before the rooster had a chance to crow.An Albuquerque man is facing charges after police said he made off with domesticated red junglefowl from Montessori school children. Harvey Aragon Jr. was arrested this week and was found hiding in a downtown Albuquerque apartment closet with smudges of Gallus gallus guano on his jeans, KOB-TV reported. Police also said they found three specimens of the most populous species of bird in the world today. in the backseat of his Buick Skylark. Next door was the chicken coop belonging to Escuela Del Sol Montessori School. His car's Skylark? And stealing a species of pheasant? This what happens when a birder goes bad?  The arrest came after a school caretaker called police about a possible break-in early Thursday morning.School director Friedge van Gil said the chickens were used to educate students about chicken care. Aragon was charged with commercial burglary and possession of stolen property over $500. It was unclear if he had hired an attorney. Brethren and Sistern! We are gathered here today to mark the passing of Brother Elroy Aragon, Junior. Brother Aragon, Junior's passing came suddenly and it should stand as a warning to us all! What did he die of, you ask? Did he die of noo-mony? Nope. Did he die of tuberculitis? Nope. Did he had a heart attack? Nope. He died in the usual way: crossing Farmer Gray's back yard, carrying two chickens and a duck!
