The egg.

[simplyteasing]

Figures a kid would be th' first t'answer.

What makes you say that? The first kid I heard bring it up said it had to be a chicken.

[soonillbe]

You buy the egg and a chicken comes out. You can't just buy a chicken.

[simplyteasing]

Sure ya can. Used t'do it all th' time.

The egg.

Because of evolution, the chicken's ancestors had to go through natural selection before they got the physiological features that would make them chickens. Therefore, it'd be easy to assume that what's a chicken "today" first hatched from an egg from a very late ancestor that was nearly, but not quite, a chicken.

Wha....

[godisachild]

What?

Did I say something wrong, mister?

[simplyteasing]

None of that made sense, boy. You hit your head or somethin'?

[ascending_angel]

I say chicken. Not that I have some intense explanation like that person up there does, but it sounds right. At least to me.

[simplyteasing]

Heh, intense. I like that. Seems th' right way to describe it.

If there's a chicken, though, ain't there gonna be an egg to birth it?

[ascending_angel]

Well it could be a mutant chicken.

[simplyteasing]

Mu-what?

[stillawitch]

Why does it matter?

[simplyteasing]

Little kid asked me and I didn't have an answer for him, is why. You got a thing against kids?

[stillawitch]

Oh, not at all! I love children.

[simplyteasing]

So you can see my problem! I can't let th' brat down.

[spiritgun_punk]

Neither.

[simplyteasing]

...Neither?

[spiritgun_punk]

Neither. You can't have one without the other, right? So they both had to show up at the same time.

[simplyteasing]

Mm.

Makes as much sense as anything else!
