Intellectuals tell why the chicken crossed the road...give your own, please!

A chicken can be male or female. It's a generic term.

"Chickens are classified by sex and age, too. Although these terms tend to vary considerably, depending upon whether they are being applied to exhibitions, or commercial poultry production. Cockerel is a male chicken under one year of age; cock or rooster is a male more than one year old; pullet is a female under one year, and hen is a female over one year of age."

So there!


Now that's more like the kind of answer I would have expected from Stormerne. All it needs is to also define "road," "crossing" and of course, "why"

Shadowdale's answer didn't ring true enough though. Here's my take:

"Why did the chicken cross the road?"

Shadowdale:
-To double-irrigate the other side for the extra civilization points.

Weimar Republic:
-To start a thread on whether it should have crossed in the first place (which shouldn't be considered spam).

FearlessLeader2
-I've already made a clear and logical case on why the chicken crossed the road. Read my previous posts. Your objections are not only groundless, they possess a distinct fecal quality that can only emanate from your closed-minded faith on the scientific establishment. I await your reply.

GenghisK
-To make fun of Cunobelin.

SlowwHand
-These poll threads are for nerds.
 
My only one is to THUNDERFALL --- The Chicken never crossed the road, Because I banned him before he Made IT... MUHAHAHAHA!!!!

Leowind: The chicken wasn't attacking our Zulu outhouse, I mean outpost, it was fleeing the tyranny and oppression of the evil AZC and the crushing weight of the ponderous Hippo bearing down on him with no regard whatsoever for the chicken's right to freely wander down whichever side of the road s/he sees fit. The Shaka, of course, welcomes all chickens, whether they be road-crossers or not.
 
EyesOfNight
-Because he cheated! And you all suck.

The Green Destiny
-The chicken did not cross the road. He was already there. As are we all. Peace.

Road: n. 1 An open way for public passage: a highway. 2 Any course followed in journy or a project. 3 A railroad.

Crossing: v. 1 to cross; as in crossing a road.

Why: adv. a question asking for a reason one must do a certain thing. Why must I feed the cow?

"Why did the chicken cross the road?"

Why did the chicken cross the road ?

Well let me think...Yes I remember, it's coming back to me now..
In those days there weren't many chicken you know, one could walk for days across huge tracts of land without having encountered any chicken at all. Of course back then chicken were much more dangerous...vicious little beasts they were,yes. With pointy little teeth and poisonous claws. One could consider himself lucky not to fall under the horribly savage chicken attacks.
Now where was I ... oh yes why did IT cross the road ?
Well I wanted to get rid of this really huge and vicious chicken who used to wait on the side of the road for me to pass by with my bottle of mescal that I had just bought. Of course, it knew that inside that bottle was a fat juicy worm full of alcool...the chicken's favorite. So every day I was attacked by this furious drunken animal who stole my booze.
So I had to come up with a plan, didn't I ? I managed to get back to the shop and bought about 50 bottles and drank them all down keeping the fat worms aside for my plan. When I'd gotten over the booze I went outside and laid a track of mezcal worms accross the road to the other side . Then I caught the chicken's attention and it followed me to the worm trail and started eating them up until it got to the other side. It got so drunk that it passed out on the other side of the road so I just had to jump on it's head repeatedly until it wasn't moving anymore. That's how I got the chicken to cross the f*****g road
 
Hitler:
The chicken found the final solution. It found out that it is superior to all other chickens, so it headed towards conquering the world and burning all other chickens in the way, while putting them in gas cells.
The chicken knew it is scientifically proven it is superior to other chickens.
 
Pat Buchanan and Ralph Nader answer (A):
"Because that's where the jobs are. All the jobs should be on this side of the road, but thanks to NAFTA, they've all moved over to the other side."

Buchanan answer (B):
"I don't know and I don't care. All I know is we have too many different types of chickens now. This side of the road was founded by white, protestand chickens and these new chickens just don't belong here."

Fox Mulder:
"I'm telling you, Scully, that chicken (the one with the cigarrette)was on this side of the road just 5 minutes ago. I didn't see him cross. Did you? Did anybody see him cross? Then tell me, how did he get to the other side? Huh? The truth is out there."
 
My rather stupid answers;
The military chicken's exploits!

Stalin;
"The glorious patriotic chicken fought with tenacity against
The fascist enemy, and crossed the road to bring great glory
To Mother Russia!"

Rommel;
"The chicken crossed the desert road and outflanked the enemy
And enabled our grenadiers to plant satchel charges on the allied
Armour in Tobruk."

Patton;
"Our heroic chicken fell in action in the Battle of the Bulge,
Crossing the road to attack German Tiger tanks, he will be
Remembered by the boys in his troop."

Yamamoto;
"With courage borne of the true soldier of bushido, the chicken
Honourably crossed the road to fall in action against the allies.
He brings honour to his ancestors."

The Great War...

Field Marshall Haig;

"With typical British bulldog spirit, Private Chicken led a charge
Against the German line. Under machine gun fire and Gas attack,
The plucky chicken took out a jerry machine gun nest and enabled
Us to cross the road to join the lads from the Seaforth
Highlanders. What a stout poultry fellow he is!"

Manfred Von Richthofen;
"At 14:00 hours we came out of low cloud to confront a squadron
Of Spad 13's. Leutnant Chicken crossed the road of Lille
Aerodrome at low altitude to empty a long burst into the leading
French plane, it went down in flames. I swear he placed the bullets in the enemy as if by hand!"

Enemy Ace;
"I was saddened to hear of the death of gallant Hauptmann
Ritter Von Chicken. He was a gentleman and officer.
Always one to make a sacrifice for the men of the squadron,
he has crossed The Final Road..."

NEVER FORGET THE CHICKEN!
:lol:
 
The chicken crossed the road in a bid to escape the already budding hype for it due to other similar questions. First it was the 'what came first...' stories, then the Henny Penny incident, and pretty soon this chicken faced too much strain and depression from the drugs the farmer said ''would help you grow''. Driven to desperation, it crossed the road, escaping the media hype and the farmer's secret plans to kill it and sell it on for lots of money. Soon every chicken heard the news and began fleeing, forcing farmers to use a stupider animal that could not cross a road, or even stay in shelter when rain pours. I present the Turkey...

Spokesperson for Soviet Union- 1961-1962

The Berlin wall is there to prevent any more of your capitalist chickens getting across into our Socialist paradise.
 
We are all the products of the times and places in which we find ourselves. This question will have a different answer for every chicken and every road.

One thing is for sure though..

"The moving chicken crosses and having crossed moves on. Nor all your piety nor wit shall lure it back to lay an egg, nor all your tears cross out one step of it"

My math teacher:

It saw some great Ecuasions(?) on the other side, and just had to go and solve them.

Toecutter

To find out how long its penis was and of course to annoy the Civ-1 addict on the other side

Becka- What are you doing standing here? I told you cross the road! Go! Do it! I said do it now! Not later, now! I said do it! Go!


On the evening news...

...and now for tonight's top stories. Earlier today a Chicken reportedly managed to a local road today at the urging of Chicken's Rights supporters. The Chicken's Rights League or CRL called the Chicken's action a quote/unquote "Selfless act to further the advancement of chickens everywhere."
The Chicken allegedly had ties to the Clinton administration during the infamous "Feather Gate" scandle. The White House has appointed an independent council to study the matter. Hillary Rodham Clinton has been quoted as saying the chicken was part of a "vast right-wing conspiricy".
 
The American Government:


The chicken crossed the road, because it is jealous of our ways, the chickens have begun training in their caves, and oneday they will come out, and freedom and goodwill will not be available to all. WEe must act now, and bomb, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Israil, India, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Algeria, Mali, Mauritania, Hanan, Nigeria,. Cameroon, Liberia, Sengeal, Congoa, Tanzaniea, Kenya, Ethiopia, Yeman, Oman, Somilia, Zimbabwa, Namibiea, Mozambique, Malawi....
