Which Came First: The Chicken or the Egg?

Hi All,

I'm going to point you in the right direction so you can find an answer to this age old question.  Enjoy the results.  I hope this is eggxactly what you are looking for and, when you find the answer, I hope you are so happy that you cluck in eggcitement... :)

So...which did come first, the chicken or the egg?

For a pretty serious answer to this question, click on this link from POPSci.com.  For Wikipedia's take on this question, click on this link.  Note that this is a fairly comprehensive answer with responses based in various categories like: 'proteins', 'science', 'theology', and 'cyclical view of time' (?).  There is also a section on references in popular culture to this conundrum - some of which are pretty funny.  Finally, there is a very comprehensive list of references at the end of the Wikipedia which covers the question from a historical perspective and 'How Stuff Works' perspective.  At the very end there is entry entitled, 'Chicken Behavior and Influence on Humans: Chicken Ethology' which might be informative....

And finally, coming from the Mother Nature Network comes this article entitleed, 'Finally Answered! Which came first, the chicken or the egg?'

Enjoy the links and you'll probably never look at a chicken-salad sandwhich the same way again!

Bing vs Google - Which is the Better Search

Hi All,

Now that Bing has been out in the internet wilds for a few years now (actually released in 2009 - how long ago that seems!) we can get some really good answers as to which is the better search engine.  Read the rest of this post to learn more about Bing vs Google.

First stop should be a site called Bing vs Google.  Click here for the link. Users can enter a search and see side by side results from both search engines on one single page - which makes evaluating the search results much easier. 

Click here for a link to Wikipedia's entry for Bing.  Click here for a link to Wikipedia's entry for Google.

Click on this link for a site called Bing It On.  Basically a study was done that says Bing is better than Google.  This link will go into more detail as to how the study was done by the folks who created the website Bing It On.

This article from Digital Trends is fairly insightful...it discusses malware and Google and Bing.  And finally, from SearchEngineWatch.com comes this article about the future of searching and how the competition between Bing and Google is setting the pace for internet search in the future.

Enjoy the links and may the searching heat up and get better.
