Geoffrey Card: I've been anxious to find out, but my friends only somewhat told me about this chicken. I'm waiting to find out if it does in fact exist, or if its made up for the purpose of entertaining us.
The chicken crossed the road because of an inherent "cross the road" meme which has been passed down through chicken generations since the dawn of roads.
enjeeo, thanks. I tried to go for an overboard Leto, but I think I ended up more mellow than Leto actually is.

Baldar, The article I posted above from a right wing newspaper proves beyond all question that the chicken was able to cross the road solely because of Reagan's visionary economic policies. Even though liberal critics have disproven every fact reported in the article, I can say that I know the chicken personally and the basic thesis of the article is valid even if we can't produce a single verifiable fact to support it.

Belle: Well, all I know is, if you're trying to imply that it was a southern chicken and that southern chickens are stupid, I'm going to have to say something about that.
Until the Asphalt Support Layer is completed, the Poultry Abstraction Interface has no way of communicating with the Sidewalk Delivery System.
We've tried to "hack" it by using the flight subroutines, but there's a bug in the gravity code that causes the resulting "CChicken" object to shoot off in to orbit or hit the side of a building.
I've tried to get the programmers to fix it, but they're in the middle of a really good game of foozball. And I'm up next, so it's gonna be a while.
Besides, that sounds like a hardware issue to me. We can't help you there.

Centurion: The chicken is Dave Barry. Look at the way he crosses the road! He doesnt even deny it.

Strider- I agree that I did a better DB than you, but not even Leto himself could do a better Leto impression than yours Posts: 4548 | Registered: May 2001

me - The chicken will not be allowed to cross the road until the contractor has achieved the necessary compaction on the limerock base and I have approved the alternate pavement design.

aka: The question is not why the chicken crossed the road, but how. We need to calculate the speed of the chicken and then the length and width of the road. After that we input the wind velocity and barometric pressure and we follow the chicken crossing formula, which mind you I remember seeing in one of my old engineering books.
other version:
aka: I couldn't bare to leave the chicken alone outside, so I brought him home today. We will call him Nugget.

Icarus : Because he noticed that players 1, 5 and 8 all had 6 or more vowels in their names and were short and swarthy. The chicken just had to get that trifecta bet in before the game started.
Lavalamp : Because he wanted to be one with my oozeness.

Ced: Hey, it beats going through years of wasted psychoanalysis and popping ineffective pills!!!
Belle: It was trying to make off with the chicken ring of power.
Zgator: It was part of the initiation ritual to become a member of the Central Florida clump.
Ela: It wasn't breastfed long enough as a chick.
Maeth & T_Smith: It needed to make it's 3000th peck.
PapaMoose: I'm just glad chickens can't engage in onanism...or post smilies.
KACARD: You people need to be more welcoming of the chicken, and, in my opinion, the chicken's behavior was way out of line so I've deleted it. Something I really don't like to do.
Cor: It was being chased by a really cute Chinese Crested Powderpuff: see how cute?
Icarus: It was part of the cockfight between games 13 and 14 at the Jai Alai fronton.
OSC: I wrote 300 pages about this during the drives between book signings. Should be out in hardcover next month.
Hatrack Muse: It's all about me, really.
General Sycophant: I agree with what Hatrack Muse said.
pH: All I know is I went along to sell t-shirts.
ginette: This American custom of crossing roads puzzles me. Shouldn't it be crossing a fjord?
Kama: If it tried that stunt here in Poland, it'd be cooking in a pot faster than you can say "soup's on."
Black Fox: Being a chicken, it flunked out of air assault school and had gone in for ranger training instead. Free ranger.

Baldar: Tell me no more about this COCK and bull story, because I've got a HEN to FRYER you up. This silly thread is no ASPHAULT of mine. We should really stop EGGing it on.

Bob: That chicken is TOO hilarious! Now let me try my hand at some!
Chickens like to be revered, but they're secretly doing it for the feed pellets.
Chickens don't like 'Why did the chicken cross the road' jokes. They feel it demeans their position as road-crossers and is just another example of The Man holding them down.
Chickens have a hard time using the word "McNugget" in any context.
It's a well known fact in Chicken culture that The Ugly Duckling actually grew into a beautiful chicken, but it had to be changed in childrens stories for copyright reasons.
Chickens are actually very vengeful creatures. They allow humans to swipe their eggs because not having to raise their own young gives them more time for plotting.
Chickens are the real Kings of the Jungle. It's true. Ask any chicken.
Frisco: Chickens are really underappreciated. That's why they drink so much. Not that we're talking about Chickens drinking, but I'm just saying that's why they do. Jeez. I need a girlfriend.

Ralphie: The chicken was on its way to Portland, where we have SOOOO much beer. Check this out. I drank so much last night that I just started spanking EVERYBODY! Dan was getting embarassed even BEFORE I started referring to myself as Rita Spankalita! BRB...gotta go to the fridge for a hefeweizen.
