i know you people out there have strong feelings about this

i say definately the egg!!!

I'll go with you, Space, and say the egg.

I never really understood these existential arguments, such as "If a tree falls down deep in the forest and no one hears it, does it make a noise?" Uh, yeah, it makes a noise! I'm sure it makes a noise to those rabbits trying to get out of the way as the tree comes crashing down!!! ;)

I'm with y'all on this one, definitely the egg!

LOL!! Yep. There's always a sound.

Unless it's in a vacuum. And a tree couldn't grow in a vacuum.

In a vacuum cleaner, maybe.

I was a real pain in the ass in freshman philosophy class, as you can well imagine. That Berkeley guy, the one who postulated that nothing exists except in our own perceptions, really irritated me. :D (philosophy fans, please excuse my extreme paraphrasing & possible wrongness, it was 8 years ago that I last read any of this)

I'm definitely on the side of the egg... ;)

NEITHER !...THE ROOSTER CAME FIRST!

:lol:


COOL BREEZE

I guess the egg-- but the egg had to come from somewhere?? So the chicken had to come first. Yet, where did the chicken come from? It had to come from an egg!! UGGGHHHH!!!

:goofy: :goofy:

Man...we've got waaaaaaaaay too much time on our hands! :laugh:

I'm voting for the spontaneous generation of the full-feathered chicken.:p

:confused: My brain hurts:lol:

I don't give a rat's ass either way... they both taste good :biglick:

I have heard there is no sound, because there is nothing there to recieve the sound. So there is no sound. If you put a tape recorder there and set it to record, then there is sound, because now you have something to recieve the sound.

LOL @ Pam! :lol:

I say the chicken for the simple fact that for the baby chicken to reach maturity inside the egg, it needed an adult chicken to keep it warm and shuffle it around! If it didn't have that, it would never have developed to be able to break out of the egg!

And yeah Pam, they do both taste good! :D

the way i see it is.....

about a million years ago (give or take a few hundred thousand), larry the lizard was feeling a little kinky and kinda fancied doreen the dodo. they hit it off, one thing led to another, VOILA! doreen the dodo popped out a few eggs....but these were no ordinary eggs...they contained the first chickens! once they hatched and reached full maturity, those chickens mated with each other to produce more chickens

therefore the egg HAD to have come first

now here's a poser...which came first? the vacuum cleaner or col sanders?

You mentioning Col Sanders reminds me of one of the coolest quotes of the 60's. In an interview The illustrious founder of KFC was asked his opinion of Hippies and their views of the world and flower power. His reply was as telling as it was witty : "Well they eat Chicken dont they??????"

Way to go Ho Chi Min........sorry Col. Sanders!!!!

Space Invade and PreFab, thanks for the laugh, as I needed it after the sad news we've received.

Growing up in Kentucky, the local paper used to publish "Sandersisms" once a week; fun little quotes that the Colonel had said on a wide range of topics. Wish I had clipped all of those quotes as I could have published a book!!!

A older friend of mine worked at one of the first KFCs so the Colonel was a frequent visitor. He said this guy was a riot! He use to tell the dirtiest jokes, pinch the girl employees asses would work the drive thru and f*ck with the customers and once brought in a birthday cake for a girl shaped like a giant dick with
"It's finger Lickin Good!"writin on it!:lol:

COOL BREEZE

"Taste like chicken"

I guess I am one of the minority here. I say the chicken. I say the chicken b/c of other beliefs, but I am not going to open that can of worms. Like I said the chicken came first.

Well - figurin this logically :
Since the first real complex creatures were the Dinos, I gotta say the egg. Theory as follows : Dino lays egg, hatches a baby dino, That dino grows, lays an egg, hatches a semi mutant dino, that mutant dino grows, lays an egg, an ya got feathered dinos, etc. ;)

you got the right idea ;) but i still think it was a lizard crossed with a dodo

For me the answer to the question is 42

:D

ahhh but what's the question?;)

Well........

we've had our Scientists researching this for the last 4 hundred years( Get that! An Irish Scientist :lol: ) and we're pretty confident of coming up with the question ;)

Perhaps we need to design a new super computer to work out the question for us?? ;)

neither, I'm a vegitarian, and very picky anyway. :D

Makes sense to me! The egg came first........umm, where'd the dodo come from though? :lol:

Cool Breeze, that so sounds like the Colonel. Interesting side note, I am an official Kentucky Colonel now. I received my title and certificate last year, signed by the Gubner (as they say in KY) himself. To receive the title, you have to have been born or have roots in Kentucky and have done something of note (or of notoriety!) in the public arena. So, you guys can just call me Col'nel from now on (JJOC! :lol: ) Now, all I need to do is buy a white linen suit with matching hat!!! ;)

the dodo came about by a cross between a pteranodon (one of those flying dinosaurs) and a rabbit (not the cute little rabbits of today, but the much larger breed in prehistoric times):hammer:

man...you guys gotta brush up on your biology:goofy:

CHICKEN!
CHICKEN!

T8G gave me -involuntarily- the REAL solution... I've seen the light...

IMMACULATE CHICKEN'S CONCEPTION!

Ummmm OK Suuuuurre. Where do evolutionists come up with these theories? :rolleyes: (a bird mating with a rabbit? :goofy: )

There is still a problem with this mutant Dodo theory and that's somewhere along the line it went from being a mutant Dodo to a Chicken, so therefore the Chicken still came first before the egg!

ahh but what SORT of egg? if you read carefully, i did not specify what sort of egg...:hammer:

To me it makes no difference because something apart from a chicken had to have layed it and it would have been a baby "whatever it was that laid it", mutated or not before it became known as a chicken. :)

I know I'm probably being argumentative but if a chicken layed an egg today and some weird mutated Chicken came from it, we'd still call it a chicken for a while anyway.

So therefore this Dodo-Lizard-Chicken would have been called a dodo if it had emerged from a dodo's egg! After that, if man had been around, they would have said, OK, this is no longer a dodo, it looks too different, it's DNA make up is different. We will now call it a chicken. So then off went the chicken, mated with other chickens and produced chicken eggs. Thus, chickens came first before the eggs!

OK, this discussion is getting weird! :goofy: :lol:

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU ARE ALL STILL ARGUING ABOUT THIS?
I ALREADY GAVE YOU THE DEFINATIVE ANSWER!

NEITHER! THE ROOSTER CAME FIRST!:lol:

COOL BREEZE

wait a second...which side are you on anyways???:lol:

now if i asked: which came first the chicken or the CHICKEN egg? you would have a more valid case:hammer:
your quote above, as i read, has the egg first (YES!!!:D ) and the chicken second

the chicken and egg question is like the battle between good :angel: and evil :devil: ...one has to choose their path, and there is no inbetween..kinda like star wars when darth vadar asked luke to join the dark side of the force...now luke didn't say to darth vadar: "nah, i'll just be a rooster":goofy: "gobble gobble"

:lol:

OK, but when you say egg, it must surely be a chicken egg by default? And if not then the Chicken is actually in fact a species of Dodo and not a chicken at all.

I say the dodo came first, then the dodo egg, then the mutated dodo, then the chicken, then the chicken egg.

So the chicken came first then the egg!

And if you are talking about evolution then there has to be an in between :)

This argument could go round in circles forever because in fact it is unprovable! And now we could get into the question of which came first the Dodo or the egg? :lol: (OK I like a good argument! :D )

dodo or egg...hmmm i might have to put up another poll for that one :lol: (oh no, eeryone screams...not another one....groans...

i wonder who ever thought of eating eggs in the first place...it's kinda a strange concept really...musta been some desperate farmer who got really hungry and couldn't wait for it to grow into a chicken...also poses another question: why aren't those little freshly born chicks eaten as well?:lol: maybe not enough meat to make it worthwhile i guess

Clearly, the egg had to come before the chicken, for the following reason : Doesn't it make biological sense that a simple organism would usually appears before that of a more complex organism especially if they are related in some way. The chicken is a much more complex biological system than a crude egg.

Ok - many of you say there's no way of conclusively knowing - but does this mean that one didn't come before the other?? NO!, there must be an answer, and the answer is.. EGG!

Sincerely,

A.C.Prieditis !

I really have no idea. I voted anyway though. Looks like the egg wins by a long shot!

:lol: That's an even more controversial question, which i'm sure would come up with some bizarre answers!

But like I said earlier, a baby chicken can't develop inside an egg unless an adult chicken keeps it warm and moves it around.

And I'm not even going to get into the Evolution vs Creation debate which could bring even more controversy to this thread! :lol:

The egg came first. I didn't eat the Chicken until last :lol:
