which Really came first?

[piratesquirrel]

As most normal (and even some abnormal)
people know, there is a question-a question that all generations
have asked at some point or another. And this question, as many know, is:

"Which came first: the chicken or the egg?"

Although everyone who has ever pondered this seemingly impossible answer has taken a side and fought endlessly to prove their point, there is one point of logic that all have invariably missed. This piece of crucial information is simply this: that dinosaurs clearly came even before chicken or egg.

As many know, dinosaurs are cousins, however distant, of chickens and basically all fowl of any species (except maybe platypuses- but they're a whole different story...). Thus, the idea that dinosaurs, though more likely tyrannosaurus rex and his somewhat periodically closer relatives, are the descendants of chickens, has recently led scientists to believe that the ancient chicken-lizards and scaly ostriches did, in fact, precede the chicken and the egg. Their new theory is that the chicken was, in fact, hatched from a dinosaur. As one scientific mind said recently, "No, see, it wasn't that the chicken came before the egg, it was that the dinosaur mutated against its will and brought forth upon this nation a chicken conceived by accident and dedicated to the idea that not all dinos are created equal."
To paraphrase, the dinosaur laid an egg, out of which burst the beast that today we name ''chicken''.

Scientists working on this research, while proud of their solving of the "chicken-egg" problem, have unwittingly created two new biological mind-bogglers:

1.) How did the chicken survive the meteor crash that sent the rest of the dinosaurs into extinction;

-and-

2.) Which came first: the dinosaur or the egg?

Mildly interesting...

However, the blue font and general lack of attention towards spelling and grammar made it tedious to read.

[Darkscull]

the font doesn't do you any favours... but also the article is a bit... odd.

anyway, i'm going to be boring and answer the question properley:

what came first the chicken or the egg?

well, there are two answers...
1. if god created the heavens and the earth, then the chicken was first, since it was spontaneaously generated from God's imagination.

2. if we all evolved from sludge, then the egg came first. this is because between lizards and chickens there are a string of missing links, each laying an egg that is more 'chicken-like' than the one before... thus, the first chicken would be hatched from an EGG, layed by a creature that is 99% chicken, 1% lizard.

He speaks truthage.

I'm no judge (I was disqualified from the bench), but Weebl said in his Hints and Tippage, articles should be funny, as this comedy site. IMHO, it isn't...

[treehugger]

you finally wrote it! maybe add some of the funny stuff from the squeeness and weinerlorry conversation. and by the way, dinosaurs are not the DESCENDANTS of chickens, it's the other way around.

thus, the first chicken would be hatched from an EGG, layed by a creature that is 99% chicken, 1% lizard.Yes indeed, I have come to this same conclusion.

I have also named this creature that is almost-but-not-quite-a-chicken.

Thank you.

the chicken came first cos it can run faster :p

[Darkscull]

the chicken came first cos it can run faster :p

but eggs can roll...
eg. Bob (not an egg, but egg-shaped) can move much faster than that mysterious chicken.

protochicken is a good name... however there isn't any evidence whatsoever for any of the various 'missing link' creatures, so both answers i mentioned are still possibilities.

[Scott Star]

I believe it was the Chick. Yes that's right, the thing BETWEEN the two stages of egg and chicken.

Egg > Chick > Chicken

Everyone forgets about the Chick, but not me, it was the chick.

CHICK FTW!!!!!1

But the mysterious chicken can hide things...

Anyway, if chickens are descended from dinosaurs, where did the dinosaurs come from?

[Darkscull]

sludge, as i said...
no one knows where the sludge came from... according to basic evolutionary theory, the sludge should have developed from a mutation of the previous thing which was better suited to surviving and thus replaced the previous thing... however since the previous thing was an inorganic rock, this doesn't really work does it?

[Scott Star]

Hasn't your cave-mum ever told you about the pterodactyl's and the prehistoric bee's?

[piratesquirrel]

Amoebas, dear friend. Amoebas. And since mankind is the single most arrogant kind on the planet, it seems fitting that we all evolved from sludge. See how easy that was?

Yes indeed, I have come to this same conclusion.

I have also named this creature that is almost-but-not-quite-a-chicken.

Thank you.
Wow. You're quite good at that. I commend you. *clapping*

[Shave]

why did you change the ok blue to that abysmal green?

[eleanor]

maybe add some of the funny stuff from the squeeness and weinerlorry conversation.
Please, don't. It doesn't need any "z0mg rAnDoM!!!11" crap thrown in.

[treehugger]

Please, don't. It doesn't need any "z0mg rAnDoM!!!11" crap thrown in.
do you even know what sqeeness and weinerlorry is? it happens to be the origin of this very article. please, don't judge them by the way their names sound.

If a chicken is something that hatches from a chicken egg then the egg came first.

If a chicken egg is something laid by a chicken then the chicken came first.

End

that's right. they're quite interesting, to tell you the honest truth. they have some very deep conversations.

why did you change the ok blue to that abysmal green?
i'm sorry, did you like the blue? i changed it because it seemed to be making people angry...but i'll change it back just for you, if you like.

That should clear things up.

[rubberfishy]

If chickens are descended from dinosaurs. they must of evolved slowly so they were like a chicken but still had more characters to be a dinosaur then they looked like I dinosaur but had the characteristics of a chicken.

for example a I can draw and egg by drawing a circle and making a point at the top. you look at it and say its and egg. I can add stupid stuff to it like a cigar and devil horns. you still say is a egg. but after a while adding things, you would go "that doesn't look like a egg, it looks more like a blank.

But if this is true did dinosaurs come out of chicken eggs and if so when did this stop?!

I am sorry am ‘bumped’ this thread (I got back to the thread following links and didn’t cheek which page it was on)

Well, I should rather like to think that dinosaurs came out of chicken-egg-like things. See, chickens were hatched form dinosaur eggs (at least that's my theory) and therefore, dinos must have had something like chicken eggs to lay. Or else there's really no way I can explain this. But, it's still just a theory. Sort of.

[piratesquirrel]

but then of course, I could be wrong.

[piratesquirrel]

where'd everybody go??? i'm all aloo-ho-ho-hooooone!!!! :(

[Darkscull]

stop it... if people want to comment on your article further, they will... but if you keep doing this they'll decide not to, so as to punish you.
you've already been rated one many times it looks like, and you've aquired a negative rep, so quit while you're only half the track behind and stop it.

[piratesquirrel]

Okay. I'm sorry, I'm learning I really am. But thanks anyway for the tip.
