What came First

[..]

So what DID come first?
The chicken or the egg?

[MillsJROSS]

You heard the joke where a chicken and an egg are "sitting" in a nest. The chicken pulls out a cigarette and starts smoking and the egg says "Well, I guess we know the answer to that question!"

I'm getting hungry for eggs right now.

Reptiles had eggs long before the chickens.

The fossil record shows that there were eggs before there were chickens. Not necessarily chicken eggs, but eggs nontheless. So the egg came first, according to science (and HillBilly).

Curiously, the Bible agrees with science (and HillBilly) on this one, as eggs are mentioned as early as Deuteronomy 22:6, whereas chickens aren't heard of until Matthew 23:37.

The egg DOES come first. I rest my case!

[HillBilly]

And mine.

My case hurts

[Indie Boy]

Egg came first because the chicken was a modifyed turkey.

I rest my case
(if i could aford 1)

It came first the egg, but that egg didn't come from a chicken, it came from a different creature very similar to a chicken that his descendance will evolute to chicken. The question is when can you say "This is chicken", "This is not"?

what came first, sex or the std?

[DragonRose]

Ummm... sex. Because if you don't have sex, then the STD isn't an STD, is it? It's a something else TD

Oh, and the chicken came before the egg. So says my dictionary. (C comes before E... get it? GET IT?!?!?!)

[Kairus]

Eggs came first, no doubt of it, precisely because of the reason Bombadil mentioned.
And what is STD?

[AGA]

A Sexually Transmitted Disease, AKA an STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection).

[Evil]

Eggie was here LONG before Chicken.

[TerranRich]

Which came first, the chicken or the redneck behind it?

Exactly.

[Haddas]

Which came first, the chicken or the redneck behind it?

Exactly.

I am having disturbed thoughts and confused feelings right now...

[DGMacphee]

So what DID come first?

No, no, no! Who came first! What came second! As for third, dunno!

[Anym]

what came first, sex or the std?

Life-- and I don't suppose I'm the first to make this comparison-- is a disease: sexually transmitted and invariably fatal.

So as life has to come before sex, and life is a STD, the STD comes first, of course one might argue that there wouldn't be life without sex, but those people are forgetting asexual reproduction.

Reptiles had eggs long before the chickens.

exactly, and also ... i've never seen a chicken smoking 

[Eggie]

I've already seen that joke on a birthday card.

I argue for the egg everytime this argument comes up. For something to truly be a chicken it has to have come from an egg. So the worlds first chicken must have come from an egg.
But people say, in a voice that theythink makes them sound smart, "But what MADE the egg?"
And I say "A not-fully-evolved version of a chicken."
And they say "Ahhhhhhhhh, but what MADE the not-fully-evolved version of a chicken"
And I say "That's not the issue here"
And they say "Hooray! I win!!"
And I say "So you think the chicken came first?"
And they say "No" and then they shoot me in the leg and run off screaming.
