The chicken crossed the road because it was Jewish and was trying to get hit by a car, so it could whine endlessly about how the car had relentlessly and systematically tried to exterminate every chicken that had ever tried to cross the road, even though thousands of turkeys and emus had also died crossing the road, and use the car's 'persecution' as a way of justifying it's massive campaign of genocide against the Puffins.


Also, because I told it to. There's nothing funnier than watching a chicken go splat.

Picard:
Open a communications channel with the chicken, Number One.

Schrodinger:

The chicken is on neither side and both sides of the road at the same time--it's state is indeterminate. By looking at the chicken, we interact with it and the environment, so it immediately assumes a position on one side of the road.

Us British aren't exactly famous for making tiny cars, Woolie. I'm just commenting that I prefer the tinyness of cars to how sleek/fast/manly it is. And also, just because petrol is cheap in places, doesn't mean you should buy big American gas-guzzlers. Petrol prices are going to keep rising, period.

Biodiesel? Yeah, that stuff rocks :) It even works with used (over and over and over) veggie oil...

Y'know, I don't like cars, period. I'm planning on getting by with only a recumbent trike in tadpole configuration.

No way would a car be more fun then a fully faired recumbent trike... You can easily cruise at 20mph on the things without breaking a sweat, and to top it off they're very comfortable. Sure, that's a third of the speed limit. Who cares? It takes three times longer than a car to get places, big deal. You're cycling along in total silence, right there with the environment. No pollution. No cost. No tax.

There, I used TCov1 to tile it. I think it looks good.

Wow, I think this sets a record for most number of replies to an IceFire post! WOW!

I thought people might find it funny, I'm quite sure its not new at all, but its got the right amount of tongue in cheek kind of humor to keep me enthralled :)

1 US gallon = 3.7854118 litre

Unless the US has some really whacked out gallons, then I thought it was 1 gallon = 4.54609 litres
Title: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on November 01, 2003, 07:33:13 am
Indeed. I do believe that many US measurements are somewhat smaller than their normal counterparts.

Commander Data:
The question should be how the chicken went accross the road, but i fail to see why the chicken would have a logical reason to want to get to the other side, and the question itself is also strange because a chicken is not setient and therefore the question of 'why' becomes a moot point. Furthermore, blah blah blah blah blah blah (and so on)

Commander Worf:
This chicken.....is it tasty?

Singh (me):
Umm......wouldn't it have been eaten by the stray dogs much earlier O_O

Terran Command:
We dont have time for chickens pilots, so get back to blowing those shivans to hell!

Sure, but if you put in:

Then it's different. So not only are the US still using imperial, they're not even using proper imperial? Bloody hell.

I demand to return to the Medieval system, whereby miles were different lengths even in different parts of England.

I should have a table somewhere with the different measurements on, but I'm damned if I can find it.

hey i'm all for that!  but there's other people that think that because this is a "Freespace community" no one should post anything even remotely non-Freespace.


and just for the record, here's my opinion (i'm not going to say "IMHO" because my opinion is far from humble ;) lol) on European/Foreign/Import/Non-American cars:

Depends on which kind they are.  Look at the Skyline for example... it's a V6, but it's got more technology than the space shuttle on-board, and as far as speed and power?  it can beat out Porsches, Corvettes, and Vipers... see?  so there ARE good foreign cars.  In fact, in my opinion Japanese cars are by far the most reliable, and overall best cars to have! (because they're for the most part 4 and 6 cylinders, very economical, and the way oil's going, i think they're the best cars to have for the future!)...  Nissan, Toyota, Honda, etc they all make good cars.  of course you can't compare American (Ford, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Dodge, etc.) cars, because they're completely different categories.  Foreign cars are very reliable, and there's very few foreign cars that aren't fast... i like them a lot :D
