A better question these days might be which came first, the chicken/egg or the functional information found in DNA.

When I was a kid my dad posed this question, and then said there is no answer because it's an unanswerable philosophical question. But that may no longer be true given what we know today.


Easy, a sparrow had sex with an stork resulting in chicken eggs, the rest was manufactured in a lab. Actually chickens aren't natural, the rubbish that we eat today would not exist if we didn't exist.

Well, that's my weekend ruined.

Eggs.
Dinosaurs laid eggs 500 million years ago, predating chickens.

If man was meant to have wings he’d fly.


A chicken and egg lie together in bed, after a night of passionate lovemaking. The chicken lights up a cigarette and says to the egg, "Well, that answers that age old question."
