Ever wondered why the chicken crossed the road? Well, here's some famous people's opinions:
Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken nature. On the road there is no chicken, no road, nor perception of the road, nor impulse to cross it, nor consciousness of the road, no feathers, no beak, no clawed feet, no chicken. No road, no chicken, no crossing ... only the great prajnaparamita of the empty form of chicken and the empty form of the road, and that emptiness; gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond.
Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.
The Book of Genesis: God said, "Let there be chicken"; and there was chicken. Then God said, "Let there be road"; and there was road. And God commanded, "Let the one be taken to the far side thereof." And it was done. And God looked upon God's work and saw that it was good.
Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.
Ronald Reagan: I forget.
The Bible: And God came down from the heavens, and He said
unto the Chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road." And the Chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.
Fox Mulder: It was a government conspiracy.
Darwin: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been
naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically
dispositioned to cross roads.
Richard M. Nixon: The chicken did not cross the road.
I repeat, the chicken did not cross the road.
Grandpa: In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed
the road. Someone told us that the chicken had crossed the road, and that was good enough for us.
Colonel Sanders: I missed one?
Dr. Seuss: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed, I've not been told!
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
Saddam Hussein: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it
