Explanation: The ancient Greek philosopher Plato once defined a man as a featherless biped. The ancient Greek philosopher/shitposter Diogenes later would burst into Plato's lecture with a plucked chicken, crying "BEHOLD, A MAN!" Plato would revise his definition to include flat, broad nails.

Classic Diogenes. I'm proud to announce that I, like Diogenes, also don't own a house.
