CRAP

The word was first used during the 16th century to describe people sneaking around.

A measurement for determining tornado wind speed has been devised by how much wind it takes to pluck the feathers off a chicken.
A range of between 0 - 9 plumes is to be the new standard.

Fact!

And since Chickens live everywhere that tornadoes happen, and always survive them, they're a perfect measuring device.

Not surprisingly, the calendar did not bother lifting one finger to research this, and they're entirely wrong. It's called a Hindi in Turkey (which translates to "Indian" in English, but that's not what the question asked), and the "original turkey" is from Guinea, which is not in Turkey, or even in Eurasia.
