*** Groat also puts [[wikipedia:Gunpowder|sulfur and charcoal in his socks, and soaks his trousers in saltpetre.]] After he's rescued from a fire, this leads to a doctor informing Moist von Lipwig "His trousers were the subject of a controlled detonation after one of his socks exploded."

Note that this was an ''organic'' chicken farmer who cloned only ''parts'' of the chickens for human consumption. Yes, ''organically'' cloned chicken parts.
