Eggs-perts rule on chicken riddle.
A geneticist, a philosopher and a chicken farmer say they have found the answer to a great evolutionary puzzle.
The experts looked at the evidence in the long-standing debate over which came first - the chicken or the egg?

Phew! I'm glad that's finally solved.
In other news, no cure for cancer.

And where's the article in which the egg-perts explain where that first egg came from? Did <deity> lay an egg? Alien space craft drop it by accident while visiting earth (and subsequently deciding it wasn't worth a second visit)?

Um... I thought this had been generally agreed on for a while now, hadn't it?

Yeah, well no one told me. Nobody ever tells me anything.

In related news, evolutionary biologists have developed unusually flat forheads from smacking themselves when once a year a newspaper claims the "chicken and the egg riddle" had been finally solved.
It's always been the egg.

Kevin handle can't handle a religious joke being made without making a big deal about it.
As for the article, looks like I was as smart as scientists at age 10.

Sure I can, as I make them myself.
Jesus dies and goes up to Heaven. The first thing he does is look for his father, as he has never met the man before and is curious as to what he looks like, and whether or not Jesus looks like his mother or father, etc. He looks high and low but cannot find him.
He asks St. Peter "Where is my father?" But St. Peter says he doesn't know.
He asks the archangel Gabriel "Where is my father?" But Gabriel doesn't know.
He asks John the Baptist "Where is my father?" But John does not know. So he wanders Heaven, impatiently searching.
Suddenly he sees out of the mist an old man coming toward him. The man is very old, with white hair, stooped over a little. "Stop!" Jesus yells. "Who are you?"
"Oh, please help me, I am an old man in search of my son." Jesus is very curious. Could this be his father? "Tell me of your son, old man."
"Oh, you would know him if you saw him. Holes in his hand where the nails used to be, he was nailed to a cross, you know..."
"Father!!!!!" Screams Jesus.
"Pinocchio!!!!!!!" yells the old man.

Source doesn't matter to me either. I would say it was the intentions behind it.
And it's nothing to do with "handling it" as it is just pointing out a tired cliche.

Actually I thought SWG was just making a joke, and he didn't come across to me as having ill intentions. I think it is the source you have a problem with and your assumed intentions.

Oh god is he STILL obsessing over me and everything I say?
He has been on my ignore list for over 16 months without me replying to a single post of his so I can't imagine he still is trying for my attention

Join the club, although I don't know if it's been 16 Kevin free months for me.
I think it's "vying" for attention though, FWIW

I always liked the fact they picked a chick that looks like the easy lay from the bar. Like a subliminal message or something.

You know, I always thought they should make Where's Waldo books substituting the clitoris for Waldo... Seems like it would be highly educational, and a little more fun than looking for some dumb looking kid wearing a scarf over and over again.

That's what they all say. 5 years later she's got the house and you're living in your car and 'bathing' using the sink of your local KFC.

Once you found it the book would also lighten up and give you less crap.

I think you're confusing the being able to find the clitoris with having access to a million dollar checking account.

That's true.
I plan on releasing a GPS system.
