I thought some might enjoy this off-topic note....

Why did the chicken...

 MOSES:  And God came down from the Heavens, and He said
 unto the Chicken, "Thou shalt cross the road."  And the
 chicken crossed the road, and there was much rejoicing.

 RICHARD M. NIXON:  The chicken did not cross the road.  I
 repeat, the chicken did NOT cross the road.

 JERRY SEINFELD:  Why does anyone cross a road?  I mean,
 why doesn't anyone ever think to ask, "What was this chicken
 doing walking around all over the place, anyway?"

 FREUD:  The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken
 crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

 BILL GATES:  I have just released the new Chicken Office 2000,
 which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your
 important documents, and balance your check book.

 OLIVER STONE:  The question is not, "Why did the chicken
 cross the road?" Rather, it is, "Who was crossing the road at the
 same time, whom we overlooked in our haste to observe the
 chicken crossing?"

 DARWIN:  Chickens, over great periods of time, have been
 naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically
 dispositioned to cross roads.

 MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.:  I envision a world where all
 chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives
 called into question.

 GRANDPA:  In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed
 the road.  Someone told us that the chicken had crossed the
 road, and that was good enough for us.

 MACHIAVELLI:  The point is that the chicken crossed the road.
 Who cares why? The end of crossing the road justifies whatever
 motive there was.

 EINSTEIN:  Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road
 moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

 RALPH WALDO EMERSON:  The chicken did not cross the road;
 it transcended it.

 ERNEST HEMINGWAY:  To die. In the rain.

 COLONEL SANDERS:  I missed one?
