Well, it's been 2 weeks since you asked so presumably everyone's still considering this one...I would have to say the egg came first - but you will probably say in that case, what laid the egg? We're talking evolution here and my head could explode if I consider this for too long. Chickens have evolved from, well let's see, the T.Rex if latest studies are to be believed. The egg is presumably a chicken egg? Oh, maybe I don't know - how about a more pressing question - why did the chicken cross the road?

The egg.
Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life.
Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg. The living organism inside the eggshell would have had the same DNA as the chicken it would develop into.

The Chicken crossed the road to get to the Egg.
The Baby crossed the road because it was stapled to the chicken.
The Turtle crossed the road to get to the Shell Station.

Why would the chicken even want the egg?
Oh, the turtle reminds me - a man goes to a fancy dress party, giving his girlfriend a piggy-back. The host asks what he's come as - and he answers that he's a turtle. So, why the girlfriend on your back? Her? Oh, that's Michelle.
