Plato: For the greater good.

Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability.

Douglas Adams: Forty-two.

Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road gazes also across you.

Oliver North: National Security was at stake.

Carl Jung: The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt necessitated that individual chickens cross roads at this historical juncture, and therefore synchronicitously brought such occurrences into being.

Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

Aristotle: To actualize its potential.

Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken-nature.

Salvador Dali: The Fish.

Darwin: It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees.

Epicurus: For fun.

Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.

Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.

Jack Nicholson: 'Cause it (censored) wanted to. That's the (censored) reason.

Pyrrho the Skeptic: What road?

Ronald Reagan: I forget.

John Sununu: The Air Force was only too happy to provide the transportation, so quite understandably the chicken availed himself of the opportunity.

God: You tell me.

Mr. T: If you saw me coming you'd cross the road too!

Mark Twain: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.

Wordsworth: To wander lonely as a cloud.

The Godfather: I didn't want its mother to see it like that.

Keats: Philosophy will clip a chicken's wings.

Dr Johnson: Sir, had you known the Chicken for as long as I have, you would not so readily enquire, but feel rather the need to resist such a public display of your own lamentable and incorrigible ignorance.

Mrs Thatcher: The chicken's not for turning.

Supreme Soviet: There has never been a chicken in this photograph.

Oscar Wilde: Why, indeed? One's social engagements whilst in town ought never expose one to such barbarous inconvenience - although, perhaps, if one must cross a road, one may do far worse than to cross it as the chicken in question.

Freud: An die andere Seite zu kommen. (Much laughter)

Hamlet: That is not the question.

Yoda: The chicken matters not. Look at me, judge me by the chicken do you?

It never is just cross the road anymore, is it?

;P

Very interesting how the same question can be answered in so many different ways.

Can we really search the motivation of a chicken? Was it "chicken" or did it have other more sinister, fowl purposes? Was it fearful or brave? Was it striving to be greater, to explore, to discover? Or did the grass look greener, so to speak? Why?

I think that we should let chickens just be chickens.

Jack Handey: A better question might be where do chickens go when they die? Because even though that chicken didn't squak much when it was hit by the Freightliner, it sure got there in a real big hurry.

Newton: Some stimulus across the road excited the chicken's sensory organs, which in turn sent electical signals to the brain, which sent such signals to the leg muscles, which began to contract in a pre-programmed pattern. These muscles exerted force on the legs of the chicken so as to raise them from the ground and move them toward the stimulus and then place them down again. Thus when the leg moved forward, there was only kinetic air friction, and when the leg moved down and back there was static friction between ground and foot. The increased friction as the leg moves back and down versus the friction as the leg moves forward and up leads to a net force on the chicken in the direction of the other side of the road.

That's why the chicken crossed the road. Would you like to see the calculus involved?
