    Yeah, that's the one, put simply

    And yes, I suspected the egg in question was of the chicken variety

      Rather than ask who came first, should we not be asking if both were satisfied afterward?

        Sorry, it just doesn't work in that sense. No egg that I know of has orifices, or even nerve endings in the shell.

          but the egg gets laid...

          and yet its the chicken doing the laying...

          does that make the chicken a slut?

          or does that make the chicken the egg's b itch?

          or is the chicken a dominating chicken?

              I'm only even posting in this thread because a certain word appeared in it.

              But my vote goes to egg, for the reasons set out by Krill.

                  Under a creationist doctrine, God created the chicken.

                  Under Darwin's theory, a mutant egg was laid by a pre-chicken ancestor, and the egg later hatched to become the first chicken.

                    The egg has existed long before birds.

                      Egg - as per Krill
                      I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life, my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

                          Would the egg of the first chicken be a chicken egg?

                          Wouldn't it have been some other beastie egg from which the first chicken emerged?

                          Thus the chicken really did come first.

                            The "other beastie egg" is still an egg. And thus a valid answer to the question, which didn't specify the egg's species.
