The Buckets by Greg Cravens for November 04, 2020

Aristotle’s answer was the chicken came first, because the actual always takes precedence over the potential. Just sayin’.

Dinosaurs became chickens.

I would argue that, for every person, there would be a demarcation point where they would say “this one is a chicken” and the previous generation is not a chicken. Therefore, the egg that contained the “is a chicken” was first.

Which begs the question, “Which came first, the dinosaur or the egg?”

OK smarty, why did the chicken cross the road?

the Rooster came first

Mmmm… Chicken.

Order one of each from Amazon and see which comes first.

The Egg of course….

Thank you, Sheila.

Mel Brooks is still my favorite philosopher.

The first chicken would have been hatched from an egg laid by a related creature, a “proto-chicken.” Therefore the egg came first.

Then there was a cartoon of a chicken and an egg, in bed, smoking cigarettes in the aftermath, with the egg telling the chicken, “Well, Babe, guess we settled that question” (funny cartoon, but it didn’t answer the question for us).
