Title: What came first. The chicken or the egg Post by: rajkan on August 23, 2006, 09:45:57 AM Something I've alway's tried to work out. What do you think ?
Title: Re: What came first. The chicken or the egg Post by: matt674 on August 23, 2006, 10:34:33 AM normally the chicken - i tend to put that in first as the eggs take quicker. I try to time it so that the eggs go on the plate last as if there isnt enough room then they can just go on top of whatever else is on the plate.
Hope this answers your question. Title: Re: What came first. The chicken or the egg Post by: Claw75 on August 23, 2006, 10:35:43 AM I think this should clear things up....
actually, that's note the picture I was looking for - can't find it now. The one I was hoping to find has the chicken smoking a ciggie and the egg saying "well, I guess we answered that question!" Title: Re: What came first. The chicken or the egg Post by: littlemissC on August 23, 2006, 10:36:52 AM there is a good argument for both,but if i start to think about it,it will drive me mad.
hi raj Title: Re: What came first. The chicken or the egg Post by: rajkan on August 23, 2006, 10:47:42 AM Got to say what you think. I myself think it was the chicken :dontask:

It's the natural order of things, anything else is just silly. Title: Re: What came first. The chicken or the egg Post by: littlemissC on August 23, 2006, 10:49:26 AM Got to say what you think.

The chicken or the egg Post by: matt674 on August 23, 2006, 10:52:55 AM ok - if we are going to look at it from a genetic point of view rather than a culinary one i say that the egg came first. Creatures were laying eggs way past before the chicken evolved from another bird like creature.
Title: Re: What came first. The chicken or the egg Post by: thetank on August 23, 2006, 10:57:17 AM That's the ball game as far as I'm concerned.
Egg first, in all categories that don't involve alphabetical order. Title: Re: What came first.

Creatures were laying eggs way past before the chicken evolved from another bird like creature. And if we are specifically meaning chicken and chicken eggs, then from an evolutionary point of view something that was 'not quite a chicken' laid the first freak aberration that was a chicken egg, so it's still the egg.

I would say that, in order for there to be a 'chicken egg' there must have been a chicken to lay it, in which case the chicken came first. Title: Re: What came first. The chicken or the egg Post by: popdog/elsadog on August 23, 2006, 11:07:14 AM This has recently been the subject of an intense study by the best brains available to mankind and was reported on Sky News a month ago. Their conclusion was that the egg came first. The egg was layed by the species immediately preceding the chicken.
Seems common sense to me. ps. surprised there haven't been any yoke jokes so far. Title: Re: What came first.

The Chicken is a domesticated descendant of the Jungle Fowl of South-East Asia. So peeps started keeping junglefowl for eggs/meat, bred the ones with big breasts (fnarr) to produce increasingly different birds, until at some point one of the Jordan-esque junglefowls laid an egg that produced a chick so different it was renamed a chicken - hence the egg came first.

I would say that, in order for there to be a 'chicken egg' there must have been a chicken to lay it, in which case the chicken came first. A chicken egg would be the egg that hatches a chicken. The egg that was laid by the first chicken would be a chicken's egg - which would be the first chicken egg which was also a chicken's egg - but not the first chicken egg. Title: Re: What came first.

This definition needs qualifying. IMO. I'm leaning towards Claw's position. Title: Re: What came first. The chicken or the egg Post by: Claw75 on August 23, 2006, 12:47:09 PM let's forget the chicken/chicken's eggs thing for a minute. I think 'chicken and egg' is just a generic phrase meaning "which came first, an egg laying creature or an egg", so should not be read to mean exclusively chickens and chicken/chicken's eggs.
In order for there to have ever been any type of egg from which a creature hatched, there must have been an adult creature to lay said egg. Therefore, I still believe the 'chicken' came first. We really need a definitive answer on this thread from someone that was around at the time ;tk; Title: Re: What came first. The chicken or the egg Post by: Wardonkey on August 23, 2006, 01:33:57 PM How can you leave the chicken out of the equation?
The question has always involved a chicken not some undefined 'egg laying creature'. Removing the chicken is radical step, I'm not sure you understand the implications. Anything could happen...

Title: Re: What came first. The chicken or the egg Post by: Bongo on August 23, 2006, 03:06:53 PM I agree with bolt.
The prechicken laid the eqq and the first chicken came out of it. Evolution or some such... >:? Title: Re: What came first. The chicken or the egg Post by: Rookie (Rodney) on August 23, 2006, 03:09:08 PM Agree with bolt and bongogogogogo

Surely this bird like creature would have been a chicken ? Title: Re: What came first. The chicken or the egg Post by: bolt pp on August 24, 2006, 01:23:04 PM On reflection it has to be the chicken.
An eggs just too fragile and cant be trusted to survive and not crack or split, its just to delicate to entrust with the beginning of such a popular foodstuff, if the egg cracked before it hatched its goodnight nurse. A chicken is the logical choice for the creator. its more durable...................Ask Dik9 he's seen the video ;hide; Title: Re: What came first.
