*sigh*
gee whiz... you guys got it all wrong!!
ok, you all know about how aliens brought us here as slaves and all, well, here's the story of the chicken and the egg...
the aliens were getting tired of their microwave dinners, and decided to engineer a new food item. they found that the most efficient shape to cook was an eliptical form, so the made this new food round.
there was a big debate about the interior of the cooking hull (later called a "shell"); half of the aliens wanted a white rubbery filling, whilst the others wanted a yellow filling.
so, they decided to combine the two. and thus, the egg was formed.
now, on earth, the atmospheric natures and bacterias were all funky, and some eggs got left out at picnics and such... and then, the eggs developed life forms inside!
that's the long and short of the chicken and the egg
