PETA Going After an Idaho Road

[Ben]

PETA doesn't like this Idaho road. I've driven by it many a time. Chicken Dinner Road.

PETA can go suck a hot, fresh egg straight out of the factory.

I just don't care that much about PETA's silliness.

Which one? Your link led to the same Chicken Dinner story.

Some sites automatically include a link back to the original article when you copy some text from them.  That's what happened here. I did not actually go to the "5-mile / 10-mile" article.

Note how the "Read more here" back-link to the entire article appears automatically in my copy-selection even though I did not select it.

This gives them automatic credit for their copied stuff.  I could have manually deleted it, but I figure if they're good enough to let me freely copy stuff from them, I'll be good enough to let them give themselves credit automatically.

That's all well and good, but I still have no idea what it was you were trying to link to.

Hawkmoon, I did not link to anything.  The "Read more here" link in Reply #4 was automatically added on to my quote about 5 and 10 mile roads being 6 miles apart.   I was trying to point out that the 6 miles difference question on that web page was more interesting to me than the Chicken Dinner Road kerfuffle manufactured by PETA.

As I tried to explain:

Just for the sake of closure, here is the embedded link to the 5 / 10 mile road question which appears toward the bottom of the OP's article:

https://www.idahostatesman.com/latest-news/article218159450.html

I guess at that point in the maps, one should have been named "Eleven Mile Road," or the other one "Four Mile Road."   Much ado.... just like the chicken road name thing.
