Chicken or Egg??

[MissInformation]

Chicken is a Middle English word originated from the Old English word, "cicen". In Middle English, egg was egge, but it was taken from the Old Norse word "egg". And since Old Norse is older than Middle English, the egg came first...

Eggs came first because there were creatures that laid eggs before chickens. The question does not say that the egg is a chicken egg.

edit: changed chick egg to chicken egg. What was I thinking?

Yeah, I thought about posting up that it does not say "chicken egg", just "egg", and have a completely sound argument that the egg came first.

But I didn't wanna look like a picky *@#%#@$.

Or you can look at it this way: which came first, the shell or the feather? The shell, so it's going to be the egg since it was the base of evolution.

Or because it's shiny....

In Genesis God created the creatures of the air (birds) first, saw that it was good, and then said, "let them multiply"

but this is a trick question to begin with
an egg IS a chicken

a liquid chicken!

(Mmmmmmm liquid chickens, aaaaggggggghhhhh [drool] )

Liquid chickens? I think, somehow, we have found our new official Chit-Chat comedian...

[Clark Gilbert]

So should scrambled eggs be considered a meat?

[Nick Mac]

liquid chickens sounds like some kind of intrevenous type of food...although its got potential, i'll give you that much!
