What do you think came first?

Reading in another thread "The old Chicken and The Egg" discussion got me to thinking that it would seem it's still up for debate.

So.....What do you think came first and why?

I believe it had to be the egg, since evolution takes place with the young and not the old. You don't get better after your born. People/Animals never grow a second head after birth only during the incubation period.

So I hypothosize that it is in fact the egg that came first.

Must be Pringles. Never heard of Ruffles. However, Pringles I know - so they must have been first.

Ehm laughter I guess ... People tend to laugh when others hurt themselves (just watch an average episode of America's Funniest Homevideos). Guess it was the same 100,000 years ago. A caveman putting himself on fire for the first time - could have meant a great laugh for the rest of his kin. Talking 'bout it: have you ever seen Japanese homevideos? They are just cruel to other people ... watching those videos ... not all of course ... but they do have a "strange" sense of humor

Just to be contrary,the chicken had to come before the egg.After all, the bacon came after the pig.

but the embryo had to come before the pig which gave the bacon.

no, not so with chickens. Chickens don't evolve after the egg phase. If they did they'd learn not to cross the road and to run from men with white beards pretending to be colonol's!

Ssh! He really was one. It's a honorary title bestowed on people by the Governor of Kentucky. It's like the Order Of Canada-of no monetary value.

I am glad he went into the chicken business ,instead of raising his own little militia. A friend of mine thinks the Colonel is one of the worst mass murderers in history,of course,she is Vegan..

Side note: While in Zellars, one day, I found a little piece of paper on a shelf that stated "KFC deep fries rats" I suspect it was dropped by the RLF (Rat liberation front)

There was one of those urban legends that claimed that KFC had deep fried a gerbil and sold it in a bucket to a customer. Did you know that rat is a delicacy in Asian menus?

Wow, no more KFC for me. The whole rat thing? Thats old, they even skin it, behead it, fry it, and chop it up in front of you. They even take pride in letting you pick your own rat out

I remember reading that rats make an ideal pet. Well,I am not that lonely! I love chicken but can't eat that greasy crap that KFC serves-the salads aren't too bad though.

When you come right down to it,there is nothing that one of the fast food franchises sell that you can't make just as well at home & the calorie intake would be less & no hidden ingredients,too. I still have the craving for KFC,but remember all the grease the last time I had some delivered-makes it easier to pass on the stuff.The few times I get something from one of the chains, it's the triple burger from Wendy's!
