Vincent Pilkington

Turkey Pluckin Machine

In light of Thanksgiving that is coming up soon, I thought this guy would be an interesting guy to know. His name is Vincent Pilkington of Cootehill, County Cavan, Republic of Ireland. He has a long standing record for the fastest plucking of a turkey, which de did in 1 minute 30 seconds on November 17, 1980. He even plucked Turkeys for charity, plucking 244 of them in just 24 hours. Plucking that many Turkeys in a 24 hour period is pretty amazing in itself, but I am not sure if that is an official record or not.
