Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road ?

Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road ? PLATO: For the greater good. DOUGLAS ADAMS: Forty-two. J.R.R. TOLKIEN: First, the Chicken, Sunlight coruscating off its vibrant, silken coat of feathers, approached the silently ominous road and scrutinized it intently with the obsidian-black eyes. Every detail of the thoroughfare leapt into blinding focus: the rough, granulated texture of the surface, over which countless balding tyres had worked relentless thread through the ages; the innumerable fragments of the stone embedded within the lugubrious mass, and the dull black asphalt itself, pitted with crevices; and then it crossed. DARWIN: It was the next logical step after it came down from the trees. MARK TWAIN: The news of its crossing has been greatly exaggerated. BASIL FAWLTY: OH, Dont mind the chicken. Its from Barcelona.
