Kentucky Fried Secrets

Handcuffed to a lockbox holding a 68-year-old secret, security expert Bo Dietl didn't know where the Brinks armored truck and flood of police officers were taking him. What he did know was that a mysterious man, known only as "The Colonel" was counting on him to protect his many "herbs and spices"...

Relax. This isn't a matter of national security, or even something out of an espionage novel. On Tuesday, September 9, after decades of being locked away in a filing cabinet in Louisville, the secret recipe behind Colonel Sander's tantalizing fried chicken was set free. Long enough to be transported to a temporary, undisclosed location as the head honchos of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC)revamped security at their corporate office and plotted to create a new breed of fast food: Original Recipe Chicken Strips!

This chicken tale made national headlines. Videos depicting shrilling police sirens and KFC big wigs in a panic popped up on youtube last week (see above).The WSVN website even included an article and related links in its "Odd News" section. I guess people out there really are interested in knowing why the chicken crossed the road...
