Chicken and Egg Problem Solved
Java Pimp writes "It seems scientists and philosophers now agree which came first. The Egg. From the CNN article: 'Put simply, the reason is down to the fact that genetic material does not change during an animal's life. Therefore the first bird that evolved into what we would call a chicken, probably in prehistoric times, must have first existed as an embryo inside an egg. Professor John Brookfield, a specialist in evolutionary genetics at the University of Nottingham, told the UK Press Association the pecking order was clear.' So, does this mean we can now show P=NP?"
Which is better, fried or scrambled?
I was listening to Paul Harvey the other morning. He said a nine-foot alligator came out of a canal in Florida, stopped at the roadway, looked in both directions, and then crossed the road when it was clear of traffic. Go figure.
