Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for October 05, 2023

Dinosaurs laid eggs and they predated chickens and all birds for that matter.

DNA does not change in a living being, just in its egg (or fetus or whatever). So whatever was the first chicken was the egg.

After he solves that, he can tell us why the chicken crossed the road.

The first chicken came from a mutated dinosaur egg. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it! (at least until I get to the other side…)

Egg

I checked the dictionary. Chicken came first.

the rooster

I came to the comments section looking for information on Baryon Asymmetry but I see where your minds are this morning.

The McNugget.

But if the Egg came first where did it come from ?

But if the dinosaur laid an egg, and it turned into a chicken much later… oh, nevermind…

the egg.

Not mine but funny: I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon. I’ll let you know.

So, which came first, the egg or the pterodactyl?

The egg. All the way up to the egg that hatched the first chicken, you would just have had “almost chicken”.

Oooh boy let the age ol debate begin

What if you put a chicken and an egg in Schrodinger’s Box?

Baryon my wayward boson

Science?! I’m in the wrong classroom!

That’s right, folks. Keep egging each other on. I’d add my own comment, but I’m too chicken.

There was a cartoon yesterday that answered that question. It was a tie.

The egg.

Order huevos rancheros and pollo asado at the same time. See which one comes first.

I believe the famous question is intended to be interpreted as “Which came first? The chicken or chicken’s egg?” How do you define “chicken egg”? Is it an egg from which a chicken hatches? Or is it an egg laid by a chicken?

God created a jungle fowl rooster and a jungle fowl hen from which modern chickens are descended and they worked together to make an egg, thus the Chicken came first.

Eggs. All chickens come from eggs. But the first chicken came from an egg laid by something that was almost—but not quite—a chicken. It was one mutation short when, voila! It laid the egg from which that first chicken emerged.

Depends what’s on the menu that day. This morning I had last night’s leftover chicken for breakfast, and tonight I made myself an omelette for dinner. On the other hand, last week . . .

And so the debate continues.

I’m thinking that Brewster’s first venture into the sciences should focus on something a little bit simpler. Maybe he could sit down with the Scarecrow and they could discuss why the ocean’s near the shore.

Some almost-chicken laid an egg that was the first mostly-chicken. Etc, etc.

It’s fairly obvious that the chicken hatched FROM the egg, laid by a near-chicken, so obviously the egg had to come first.

Oh, come on now. Everyone Knows the Rooster came first.

The Chicken never did because the Rooster rolled over and went to sleep.
