It is one of life's great mysteries. Why in the heck did the chicken cross the road? What would possess it to do so. I posed the question to a couple people on AIM last night. I got one that said it was a question he had long pondered, and another who said it got hit by a car. However, that answer does not suffice; the question lies in what was the chicken's objective in crossing the road, not what happened when the chicken tried?
So, does anyone here have any ideas?
Note: This is meant to be semi-serious, in the sense that it is, in essence, a joke, but one to make it seem like you're discussing seriously the reasons for it to cross, as if it were a philosophical question. I know you're not supposed to tell the reason of a joke, but I wanted to try to avoid this being just called SPAM and dismissed off hand.

Now, whats on the other side is a good question indeed. Maybe people and noodle soup.
But the question you pose is one I have often dwelt upon whilst sitting in my den on long rainy afternoons... Consider though, that the fundamental drive behind most human actions are either anal sex, jealousy, or boredom. Chickens aren't terribly smart, I don't think they have the capacity for boredom, and why would a chicken really be jealous of any other chicken...other than a spot 'o fudge packin'?
The solution is clear.

Why did Jesus cross the road?
He was nailed to the chicken.

Seriously, if I had any more room (the board says I don't), I'd put in a quote of yours. I promise.

So it could surrender to the Germans on the other side.
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.
