Are you sure? If you look up 'albumen' you'll see that the word egg comes well before the entry for chicken.

An amoeba looks more like an egg than a chicken... Silly response, but it has some validity.

The main difference between an egg and a pebble in terms of behaviour is that the pebble probably doesn't exchange gases with its environment (or at least the gases it emits are the same mix as the ones it absorbs) - and even that's not true of all pebbles.

| Come is slang for experiencing sexual orgasm. And since the egg cannot experience orgasm, I'd say that the chicken came first.

It can be both, just like breath can be a verb for doing breathing or a noun for what is breathed.

Thanking Leonard Euler let us contemplate the following: After a whole day of trading at the local market two women have sold 100 chicken eggs in total. While one woman sold more chicken eggs than the other both of them have made the same amount of money: - You know, if I were selling your chicken eggs I would have made 15 Kreuzers. - Ha, and if I were selling your chicken eggs I would have made 6 and 2/3 Kreuzers. How many chicken eggs did each woman sell, at what price and what was per woman take home?

Turning the wordy problem into a set of equations gives me a+b = 100 a*p = b*q b*p = 15 a*q = 20/3 Then if we multiply the middle two equations and divide by the fourth, we get a*p*b*p*20/3 = a*q*b*q*15 which simplifies to (q/p)2 = 4/9 a, b, p and q are positive (because we're dealing with eggs not some wonky financial derivative), so q = 2/3 p And the rest quickly follows, a = 2/3 b a,b = 40,60 p,q = 1/4, 1/6 ap = bq = 10

So in a nutshell (or an eggshell, if you like), two birds that weren't really chickens created a chicken egg, and hence, we have an answer: The egg came first, and then it hatched a chicken. Maybe the question we should be asking is: Which came first, the proto-chicken or the proto-chicken egg?

| So you believe that a chicken egg is an egg from which a chicken hatches rather than an egg laid by a chicken?

This question is very interesting. It always put everybody in shock. I think egg came first. But if see according to alphabetical then chicken. This is very perplexing question. Can you give a proper answer for this?

If the first person (egg) was a coward (chicken), then surely both the egg and the chicken came first because they are one and the same person.
