World leading research by eminent ANU professor, Dr Makeit Upp has revealed that the life cycle of angels bears an unexpected resemblence to the humble chicken. After studying angels for many years, Dr Upp has discovered that, like chickens, angels hatch from eggs. Dr Upp has also revealed that he recently made the first recorded discoveries of angel eggs while hunting for weeping angels in suburban Canberra. In an exclusive interview with this journalist, Dr Upp has revealed that the eggs are almost perfectly spherical, typically orange or white and approximately the same size as a ping pong ball. He also speculated that the angel egg phenomena might not be unique to Canberra and that with December and January the typical angel hatching season, angel eggs are likely to be discovered in other parts of Australia over the summer months.

Following his surprising discovery, Dr Upp was inspired to undertake the first ever study of angel DNA. This revealed that angels and birds share a common pre-avian ancestor and that both angels and birds may be descended from the pterodactyls that were once prolific across the Gondwanaland continent. Dr Upp remarked that this result was not as surprising as first thought and that a link between birds and angels was first speculated on by Sir Joseph Bank's assistant-botanist, Gno Kloo in 1770 due to the fact that both species have wings.

Dr Upp indicated that his discoveries may also explain a series of unexplained mortalities over many years by suggesting that it is possible that weeping chickens may have the same unusual powers as weeping angels to bring about premature death. When approached by this journalist, the Federal health minister refused to comment on whether weeping chickens may also be a public health risk, similar to weeping angels.

Meanwhile, in breaking news, police are at a loss to explain the recent death of four Adelaide teenagers soon after they claimed to have discovered a nest containing weeping magpie eggs but have confirmed that they are investigating the possibility of fowl play.
