Ok, so.. For a long time, I've claimed that obviously the egg came before the chicken, as the first chicken had to be hatched from something.
We had a discussion about it today at work, and Jens contested that claim. So now I've revised my position.
Chicken can lay eggs without them being fertilized. This means the eggs are made up of non-genetically-mixed material, and that the fertilization alters the contents of the eggs (the thing that gets hatched).
This means that some kind of proto-chicken got fertilized, laid a proto-chicken egg that contained a mutated offspring that we would today call a chicken.
So obviously, the chicken came first. QEFD.
Great, now get started on answering why do we exist.
the answer to life the universe and everything is 42.

Best response ever. Works every time =D more votes!!!! for his comment ^^^^^
Finally..an answer that makes sense to me!
wrong, that is the answer to the ultimate question! not the meaning of life
The ultimate question is: What is the meaning of life.
So if I put 42 as the answer on all of my tests, exams, and other forms of schoolwork I should become super honor roll student of the universe?
do you know that the universe is infinite? so is human history!
out standing!

so ******* importent....i thought it was about MC....damn
mojang? talking about Minecraft?
you've got a better chance of VALVe announcing HL2:E3. :V
I rick rolled 650 people on Facepunch by doing that.
and every single one enjoyed it! i personally enjoy the song =)
moderator gone mad!
Really, is that all you care about? They're people, so they do other stuff than just deign minecraft.
Why is it so hard to understand that 'that' is all he cares about? Seeing as 'that' is Minecraft?
I hate to point out the obvious, but this is the Minecraft page, not the Mojang twitter.
Personally, I enjoy the various twitters from time to time, but there's a reason I didn't sign up to his twitter y'know? I like my minecraft updates to be, y'know, updates about minecraft.
Just sayin'.
I understand. still, it is nice to shake things up a little now and then ^^
and tbh, I've really been laying back on updating. for example, he had a weird has hell image uploaded, but I've ignored it, as it wasn't good for the page.
some like, cut up version of Notch's face. idk.
trust me, this won't become THAT bad ^^
lol nice
Completely wrong. The egg was first. Dinosaurs...duh. j/k lol.
great to see the game is moving one
I always thought about it like that :3
This is a very simplified concept, because the definition of chicken has evolved as much as chickens have. Probably nobody knows what,or if our ancestors had a name for them before we found them to be finger lick'n good, that period probably lasted all but 5 minutes when the first protohuman scarfed down the fire charred remains of our first of a long history of 12 piece meals.
Lets keep the KFC jokes/puns going.
But fish have laid eggs for millions of years, before chickens or even said "proto-chickens" existed!
does that mean that theres going to be a 1 in a million chance of seeing a strange looking "proto-chicken" in minecraft??...that would be cool :D
Some kind of raptors or T-Rex, the new mob. Yeah, like dragon's weren't enough.
I made that idea myself before...It means i'm smarter than Mojang teams !
Now i just have to make an awesome game.
That is true. The answer is simple: The egg was laid by a different kind of chicken!
I think what you're calling a proto-chicken egg would be considered a chicken egg since a chicken comes out of it, or would you call it by what laid it? I guess it would be what laid it since you wouldn't realize what's inside it is a chicken, not a proto-chicken
Guys I'll make it simple..
"Some lizard laid an egg and it turned out to be a chicken"
god, how poor can people be? even stealing my words nowadays... :P
that is awesome!
uhm is just me or is he going against his own words, some proto-chicken laid an egg, out of that the chicken was born, which means the egg was before the chicken, but the proto-chicken before the egg.....
my opinion: egg was first as they never state chicken egg or chicken, but just chicken. Dinosaurs laid eggs which were before the chickens.
duh wut... O_O so an egg and a chicken and and...duuuuh...you got me on that one o_0
An egg came first because there were plenty of egg-laying animals (all of dinosaurs) before chicken.
Dammit. I thought this had to do with Eggs laid by chickens in Minecraft could now hatch into another chicken.
so did we....so did we...
where did the proto- chicken come from 0_0, a proto proto egg?????
Wait, what?!
But that "mutant" came from the Proto-chicken's egg...
science
it's awesome
Lol how a simple question can become a huge thread of theories. Oh online forums you are incredible.
