The Chicken or the Egg?

[ed2funy]

 

 

One of life’s greatest questions finally answered: What came first, the chicken or the egg?

 

“It had long been suspected that the egg came first but now we have the scientific proof that shows that in fact the chicken came first.”

 

It turns out there’s a protein, ovocledidin-17 (OC-17), that’s only found in the ovaries of chickens that is crucial to the formation of an egg’s shell.

 

OC-17 coverts calcium carbonate into calcite crystals, which in turn form the shell. No OC-17, no shell, and since OC-17 is only found in chicken ovaries, the chicken had to have come first.

Thank the Great Lord you figured that one out....

i believe we've already established that the non-specificity of the question directs the finding that the egg came first.

 

i have never heard the qualifier "hen's" added to the "egg."

We always assume chicken means female. Just like many assume Ewoks are male.

But that can't be true. Look at Verby.

;p

Sexist homosapinenists.

If I was female, I'd never leave the house.

 

Truth.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

when i said hen i meant as opposed to, say, reptile or fish.

 

i assumed the opposition to roosters went without saying.

 

except for krak.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

if i could have gotten away with it i'd never have left the house, either.

You'd have dinner prepared when your husband got hom? You'd do the laundry and tidy up the house and do everything else the perfect house-wife does?

Hey now, what I do with roosters on my own time is non of your business!

Peacocks are innately male because the females are peahens!

Dinosaurs eggs make one hell of an omelet!

[LilyElizabeth]

A block party omelet!

[eclipse0]

Yeah, we'd need a lot of cheese to fill that space!

Not exactly the angle I was playing there, Barm.

Nobody ever said he was the sharpest tool.

 

 

(I know the saying is supposed to include 'in the shed' but I like it better this way)

[Moon Sedai]

YWell, you got it right. He's a tool.

[eclipse0]

Yup, that was the joke. I'm glad to see the bus from west virginia made it to the show...

 

 

j/k I just wanted to use that Jeff Dunham joke :)
