The chicken or the egg?

why are you so competitive? couldn't the have arrived at the same time?

Egg. From another not-entirely-chicken thing evolved the chicken, but it had to be born, so yes egg came first.

 

Now, when that's settled....there'll only be spam.

I'm so in my home ball park here. I think the chicken came before the egg, but then you also have to remember that the chicken came from an egg. We have a Catch 22 situation here, yet both still exist.

 

I really freak me out sometimes.

I am inclined to think neither came first.

According to the principles of speciation, neither the chicken nor the egg came first, because speciation does not occur in simple, obvious units. In fact, evolution is about a slow transition in an overall population. What qualifies as

You were serious? Poor Diamond.

It didn't hurt to add a little sense to this thread.

There were eggs around in the time of dinosaurs, but only primitive chickenlike rocks, so you see eggs were around before chickens

You didn't count space chickens, Laozi. They were here first.

Wrong space chickens only arrived in the middle ages, which inturn explains the 2nd and 3rd crusades.

 

Theres a vague reference to cosmic powered chickens in the Edda but they were probaly refering to solar winds

I'm still willing to bet the neo-baalistan khazis were right when they explained nostranamidian prophecies as foretales of the coming of the Great Egg, al-Ramehzz, or that-which-rolls.

Eggs actually don't roll, thats an optical illusion they use to deter predators

No, I'm referring to the space invaders who taught man fire in the stone age. They told the humans that this was their third visit to Earth and that their previous visit occurred 142 million years ago. This conversation is the oldest one recorded by man, taught to them by the space chickens (who had Intel P90 computer):

 

"What is egg?"

 

Looks like a pretty good summary to me.

Definitely solar winds.

Pffft, heretics.

Those were the martian elves fleeing the defecation of the Monkey Claus

Everybody knows those elves are mutated chickens...

There were no chickens or eggs at the beginning of life on this planet.

you've got this all backwards .. in thruth we are the space chickens and what we call chickens are actually the original inhabitans of this earth .. and acident invlovling a particular unstable rubberband and a midly rotten tequila was the cause of us switching bodies! leaving us (the original chickens) in our current form, unaware of what has transpired .. and the aliens in chicken form..

 

this also explains why George Bush is president ..

...and why eggs come in brown and white.

actually I believe that has something to do with synthetic alloys ..

I bet it's the rubber band. Trust me.

This is going to sound really stupid and childish... and probably a bit gross... but the colour of the egg actually depends on which hole it comes out of.

 

It's okay to ban me now.
