    Default which came first?

    The Chicken or the Egg?

    I for one happen to believe that I know the correct answer but I'm curious what y'all think and how y'all come to your conclusions.
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    I can unscramble that for you: it's the egg.

    I don't think any altar boy ever came too.

    Technically the egg.
    It is genetically different from the chicken, and therefore 'first' of it's kind.

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    Well i am overall unsure what could come first, but I think there was a big scientific study and I think they determined the Chicken had to come first.

    But this is really just spam.

    Being an eggspert on the subject inclucks me to bring a 'sunny-side' to every discussion, not something 'hard-boiled' or be to 'runny' as it were.
    I only wish that more people would recognize that 'a chick in the hand it worth two in the bush', but that may be eggzactly why I am here, crowing to the world.

    Why do they never specify chicken egg? Fish and other creatures would have been laying eggs ages before chickens were around, and even for a creationist, most plants reproduce sexually, with both egg and sperm, so the egg is at least a day older than the chicken.

    Impressive effort Marshal, but I have to admit I was a little disappointed that it fell a few short of a dozen puns/quips.
