Which came first: The chicken or the egg?

Well, they've got an answer!

 

[PurpleHonker]

Well, now that's one of life mysteries I can stop trying to figure out

Do we know yet why said chicken felt the need to cross the road?

Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

Is there any way to turn peanut butter back into peanuts?

So much to consider...

The problem with this question is that it seems very innocent until you get into the religion vs evolutionary debate. That's the rub right there.

Where did what come from and if so, where did that come from in the first place? Did things automatically just happen and things spontaneously started to form or was it all put there?

There are things we were never meant to know, and we never will. But they sort of kind of sorta figured this out a bit it seems... not so much answered it...

Eh, dinosaurs were laying eggs long before chickens were invented. So, unless you specifiy chicken egg, the egg came first. This study is flawed, IMO, as it assumes that the egg in question must be a chicken egg.

If Gonzo had landed on Earth a few million years too early, would he have developed a crush on a maniraptor?

Pfeh... They still haven't answered the greatest question of our times...
Why do hotdog buns come in packages of eight but hotdogs come in packages of ten?

*Cookies to the first person who gets that.

Animaniacs... Classic! Classic!


Actually.... to tell the truth, they ALSO make buns in packages of 12 (if you can find them) and I swear Oscar Mayer actually has 10 hot dogs to a package.

But if they indeed still had dogs and buns in 8 and 10 respectively, how many of each would you need to make an even number, not letting a bun or dog out of place?

Simple

4 bags of 10 buns and 5 packages of 8 dogs. 40.

That's the lowest amount you'd need. Sure, you can get 8 packages of 10 buns and 10 packages of 8 dogs to get 80....

Yes... Thank you LCM (Lowest Common Multiple) Man!
*Another cookie to the first person who gets that reference.

And you know we now get eggs in cartons of eightteen in three rows of six instead of by the dozens?
Is unbelievable okay... But is true okay.

Gee, how come people are just now posting in this thread when it was started nearly a week ago?

Sounds like something off of "Whose Line is it Anyway?"

Sorry, wrong. Think more along the lines of CTW programming.
