    Interesting trivial information. A chicken will also lay larger eggs as they age.

    With more Chicken than men on this rock, we need to be very polite to them. You never know if they ever de-evolutionize ... Then we are in big trouble :D LOL

    I know. They'll mutate and cause havoc first in rural fowl-keeping areas and terrorize the urban centres. Then we'll be SO screwed.

    Ehrrrr ... a non-fact detected.
    I'm no chicken, my zodiac is not chicken.
    So this means my probability is at this moment equal to ZERO.
    But you kdotc have an imperical chance of 1/12 to be a chicken.
    Imperically spoken the following fact is relative more true than yours
    So IMAO:
    Fact: kdotc = chicken ... this is not a joke QED :D LOL -tongue2
     
  16. ^ lmao owned by math.

    both where did the 1/12 come from lol
     
  17. Maverick

    Maverick Lord Vader

    In the Chinese Zodiac ring there are 12 animals. Chicken is one of them. So 1/12 QED :D
