lol .... This happens at least 793 times at my house every day. Chickens crossing the road. Chickens coming up to the door. Chickens sitting on cars, under cars, on fences. You've waited your whole life for this? Ok. So why did he cross the road?

Thanks

I'm not sure this one counts - he's using the crosswalk and obviously waited for the light to change. This is one cautious chicken....rooster?

  He's probably done it many times before. It is an old joke after all.

To get away from the rooster.

In Grand Cayman we went to a KFC. Outside, loads of chickens walking about. Crossing the road and back.

They must have been those evil, cannibal chickens that I have never heard about.

Maybe it's old age. Maybe it's just that I'm a confirmed sarcastic jerk.

But when I hear the question "Why did the chicken cross the road?" my first thought is;

To the chicken, it isn't a road. The chicken has no perception that the road begins or ends...it's just a surface to the chicken. So, it isn't getting to the other side. The chicken has no perception of "the other side".

The chicken is either going toward something or away from something. And I need to know more before I can answer that question.

Want to know what I'm really thinking? That's what I'm really thinking. And I have to force myself to remember, that the person asking the question, is just joking.

That's a fowl thing to say about chickens. They're smarter than you give them credit for.

Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

Shrek: Urrrrrp - What chicken?
George Bush: To face a kinder, gentler thousand points of headlights
Darwin: It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees
Bob Dylan: How many roads must one chicken cross?
Robert Frost: To cross the road less traveled by
Gilligan: The traffic started getting rough; the chicken had to cross. If not for the plumage of its peerless tail the chicken would be lost, the chicken would be lost!
Martin Luther King : It had a dream
James T. Kirk: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before
Sir Isaac Newton: Chickens at rest tend to stay at rest. Chickens in motion tend to cross the road
Mr. Scott: 'Cos ma wee transporter beam was na functioning properly. Ah canna work miracles, Captain!
Mae West: I invited it to come up and see me sometime
George Washington: Actually it crossed the Delaware with me back in 1776
Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference
Darth Vader: Because it could not resist the power of the Dark Side
Lord Baden-Powell: To earn a Road Crossing merit badge

Well, to the chicken it's "over there" whether there's a road between "here" and "over there" or not, so it's not the chicken's aim that's the question - it's the relevancy of the road.

That was 3 credit hours and about 500 bucks. I finally got my money's worth.

Wonderful thread, Wpedia.

Yes, and why is it assumed that the chicken doesn't perceive the road? Other animals such as dogs, cats, squirrels, etc... realize a road is something to be careful when crossing ( although we have all seen evidence when they make wrong decisions when to cross the road ).

Chickens are smarter than people think.

That's right: In multiple tests of cognitive and behavioral sophistication, chickens outperform not just dogs and cats but four-year-old human children.

Explains the University of Bristol's Dr. Christine Nicol, author of the review paper titled The Intelligent Hen, "[s]tudies over the past 20 years have... revealed their finely-honed sensory capacities, their ability to think, draw inferences, apply logic and plan ahead."

Hi Sandy.

There's a question people ask and that is "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

Do you know the answer?

Well this incredible question has stumped some of the finest minds in human history including Einstein, Hawkings, Dawkings and even Gertrude Cumberpants. For centuries scientists, mathematicians and vets around the world have thought about this and asked themselves why.

Whateverpedia, the chap that posted this thread, was out recently when he spotted this chicken crossing the road so took a photo from his car. Sadly he wasn't able to question the chicken because the lights changed and he didn't see where it went, so the mystery remains.

Heres why!

It would make a pretty funny KFC gag, have someone walk in with his chicken, plop him on the front desk and say, cook this up for me, and don't hold back on the 11 secret herbs and spices!

When I saw a thread by whatever about something he waited his whole life for, I knew it would be something extraordinary and certainly worth spending a few minutes to check out, to have, probably, the best laugh of the day; but he just linked someone's photo from the internet, which makes it -- such a disappointment!

edit: ↓ That's much better, I was expecting something that smart in the first place.
