[plowter]

An example of an imprecise question.

What do you mean by an egg?
What do you mean by a chicken?

Frogs evolved millions of years before chickens.
Frogs produce eggs.
If you accept frogs existed before chickens would you accept that frogs came before chickens?

[stewey]

I've heard some people say that frog's legs taste just like chicken.

[doctordb]

Frogs taste like chickens or do chickens taste like frogs?

[plowter]

Shirley, if frogs eggs taste like chickens eggs we have agreement!

[stewey]

I don't think that chickens have a tongue, doctorb; therefore, I wouldn't think that they could taste.

[stewey]

Please do not call me Shirley.

[doctordb]

Stewey, tongue or no tongue, chickens taste good.

f a rooster lays an egg on a slanted roof which way will it roll?

[stewey]

Eggsactly...Sorry: couldn't resist it:)

[maggiebee]

Probably a wise old rooster was created first. One of his bones (probably his wishbone!) became a chicken and the rest, as we say, is history. Well, that's the story I'm sticking to.

[stewey]

North North East?

[plautus]

Not the rooster one again!

[AlwaysConfused]

plautus, I couldn't help myself!

I think this question should be posted in R&S. After all if god created chickens the religiosi should know the answer.
And for Stewey a nice photo of a chicken's tongue

I think this should be placed in Animals and Nature, because the fox has eaten two of my neighbours' chickens.

Eggs were around many millions of years before the chicken evolved. Even most of the dinosaurs species laid eggs. Now, if you would have said chicken eggs or chickens, that would have been a bit more difficult.

And chickens, like all birds, definitely have tongues, and better designed then ours.
