I'm too lazy to sum it up myself, so I'll just quote a few paragraphs of the article, minus the stupid puns.

Quote:

In the summer of 2010, British researchers cracked the enigma when they discovered that the protein necessary to create the eggshell was found exclusively in the ovaries of the chicken. So the chicken had to come first, because the eggshell can't be made without that protein.

Better than anything we Americans have ever discovered.

Interesting, but I knew this already, but I rather not start a religious debate in here.

EDIT: 666th post.

Interesting. I never knew the answer to this question, nor did I know a lot about the other discoveries.

That may be true, but the Dinosaurs still came before the chicken.

I've become addicted to this site. Don't be alarmed if I don't show up for a few days.

Ah ha! But eggs in general still came before chickens, so my argument is still perfectly valid. Close call.

Personally I think God made chickens first and eggs came after, just like how he made humans before they had children.

Personally I think chickens are stubby, feathered, miniature dinosaurs.
And I read this on Cracked yesterday. Best site ever.

Either way, I still think the egg came first cause the chicken probably hatched from an egg.
Argument not yet invalid.

I did not know that and I learn something today. The chicken comes first. Unless you are talking about eggs in general as the birth of everything.
