Why did the chicken cross the road?


> Plato: For the greater good.

> Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability.

> Machiavelli: So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a
> chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but
> also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with
> such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
> chicken's dominion maintained.

> Hippocrates: Because of an excess of light pink gooey stuff in its
> pancreas.

> Jacques Derrida: Any number of contending discourses may be discovered
> within the act of the chicken crossing the road, and each interpretation is
> equally valid as the authorial intent can never be discerned, because
> structuralism is DEAD, DAMMIT, DEAD!

> Thomas de Torquemada: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll find
> out.

> Timothy Leary: Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment would
> let it take.

> Douglas Adams: Forty-two.

> Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road gazes
> also across you.

> B.F. Skinner: Because the external influences which had pervaded its
> sensorium from birth had caused it to develop in such a fashion that it
> would tend to cross roads, even while believing these actions to be of
> its own free will.

> Carl Jung: The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt necessitated
> that individual chickens cross roads at this historical juncture, and
> therefore synchronicitously brought such occurrences into being.

> Jean-Paul Sartre: In order to act in good faith and be true to itself, the
> chicken found it necessary to cross the road.

> Ludwig Wittgenstein: The possibility of "crossing" was encoded into the
> objects "chicken" and "road", and circumstances came into being which
> caused the actualization of this potential occurrence.

> Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed
> the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

> Aristotle: To actualize its potential.

> Buddha: If you meet the chicken on the road, kill it.

> Howard Cosell: It may very well have been one of the most astonishing
> events to grace the annals of history. An historic, unprecedented avian
> biped with the temerity to attempt such an herculean achievement formerly
> relegated to homo sapien pedestrians is truly a remarkable occurence.

> Salvador Dali: The Fish.

> Darwin: It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees.

> Emily Dickinson: Because it could not stop for death.

> Epicurus: For fun.

> Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.

> Johann Friedrich von Goethe: The eternal hen-principle made it do it.

> Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.

> Werner Heisenberg: We are not sure which side of the road the chicken was
> on, but it was moving very fast.

> David Hume: Out of custom and habit.

> Jack Nicholson: 'Cause it (censored) wanted to. That's the (censored)
> reason.

> Pyrrho the Skeptic: What road?

> The Sphinx: You tell me.

> Mr. T: If you saw me coming you'd cross the road too!

> Henry David Thoreau: To live deliberately ... and suck all the marrow out
> of life.

> Mark Twain: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated.

> Molly Yard: It was a hen!


> Zeno of Elea: To prove it could never reach the other side.
