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!
Regards,
Stu
