ם Science Triumphs Again
Science has settled one of the greatest questions of all time. Unified field theory? Nope. Polynomial time factoring? Guess again! Which came first?! You got it! Answer: the egg, naturally.
A geneticist, a philosopher, and a chicken farmer have come together (thanks to the power and funding of Disney) to settle the eternal debate of “firstness” between chickens and eggs, and these “eggsperts” unanimously agree that the egg unequivocally came first.
However, this study does rest on some key assumptions that should be noted:
“If a kangaroo laid an egg from which an ostrich hatched, that would surely be an ostrich egg, not a kangaroo egg.” (According to Professor David Papineau, philosopher)
I guess I’ll just have to wait for a study that’s based on some more solid assumptions. I’m still waiting on that polynomial time factoring method, too.

My favorite part of this is that Disney organized it to promote the release of a DVD.
Seriously, the last paragraph makes the article.
